Drafting - Two Headed Arrows

Drafting - Two Headed Arrows

Drafting - Two Headed Arrows

(OP)
I'm running on NX4 and I was wondering if there was a way to make a two headed arrow in drafting...
This is something like what I want...



Thank you in advance.
 

RE: Drafting - Two Headed Arrows

You can add a second arrow head to a leader. I used to have a GRIP program that would add arrowheads to an entity.

RE: Drafting - Two Headed Arrows

The option of using double-arrowheads was not added to NX until NX 5.0, where all you have to do is select the desired Dimension, press MB3, select the Style option and change the desired Arrowhead style to whatever you like, which now includes several types of double-arrowheads, as shown below:

Looks like you're one version shy of having any luck!

thanks for all the info...  We upgrade to NX6 in a month, It looks like I'm doing this just a little too early...

For now, you could create a Custom Symbol and just place those where needed.  The symbol origin can be made associative to the view as well.
