NX6 arrowheads

NX6 arrowheads

NX6 arrowheads

(OP)
The arrowheads on my dimensions come out fine, with a filled arrowhead.
The arrowheads on my leaders that are attached to notes come with a closed (but not filled) arrowhead.
I checked in Preferences -> Annotation and everything seems to be set the way that I want it (with a filled arrowhead), but that is not the way they are showing up on the drawing.

Is there someplace else besides Preferences -> Annotation that I need to set what I want for arrowheads on leaders that are attached to notes?

RE: NX6 arrowheads

Are you using a Drawing template file?  If so, the preferences are based on what was set for the template, not your current session.  However, this can be overridden by going to...

Preferences -> Drafting...

...and on the General tab change the Drawing Settings from 'Use Settings from Drawing Template' to 'Use Settings from Standard'.  Now this will probably only effect new dimensions and notes, so you may still need to go back and edit the ones that you want to be correct.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

It's been a while for me, but I believe to change existing dimension Style, right click (MB3) on the dimension and pick Style from the popup menu.

Some people are like slinkies....they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
