Linear pattern arrow location 1

[pdelnet]

I have searched the archives and have not found any reference to this so here goes. When I create a linear pattern of a hole, this maybe 120" long spaced at 1 1/2", I usually zoom into the corner of the part where the seed feature is created. When I select an edge to define the direction of the pattern the arrowhead indicating which way the pattern will sometime be located at the end of the edge that is not in the display. I have to zoom out to find the arrow to verify its direction. Is there a setting or a way of selecting that will have the arrowhead displayed in the screen I am working in?

You could use the Zoom Previous function or select the feature/body being patterned and just observe the direction in the preview. The direction can be switched in the Linear Pattern manager. You don't have to use the direction arrow.

I know that it can be switched in the pattern manager you just cant see the arrowhead, which would be nice. I guess its just another enhancement request. Thanks for the response.
