So I’m having an issue with the arrow attachment to objects. When I copy the arrow to different places on my detail, and then delete the original object the first arrow was attached to, it deletes all the copied arrows too. I just deleted a CAD block and lost 5 arrows of my detail. Is there an option to turn off the attachment of arrows to objects? The only thing I saw in the help says, “Lines with arrows can be attached to other objects. They attach to a closed polyline-based object along its edges, but can attach to an architectural object anywhere within its 2D symbol in floor plan view. If an arrow is attached to another object, deleting that object will also delete the arrow.” It seems that even though I’m copying the arrow to a new location it still stays attached to the original object, unless I move the arrow head to attach to a new object and even then it doesn’t always seem to work. I would just as soon not have arrows attach to anything.

Thanks for the info! I have been having the same problem. 2 pages out of a 12 page layout have been having a random area changed from black to a greenish color for no apparent reason. There are some cad details with transparent objects on those pages though. There are other details on other pages that have transparencies, but for some reason only 2 of the pages where compromised. I used the Chief PDF printer and it fixed the problem.... or at least got me to a reasonable end result.

I was using the Plot Plan annotation set. I tried importing the 1/4" set from X6 into X7 and it worked.... until I changed the arrow style to a slash. For some reason the slash doesn't disappear in X7 like it does in X6. I can use an arrow and it will disappear, just not the slash. Is there a way to import arrows from X6 to X7 or maybe edit the arrow in X7?

I just started using Chief X7 and have come up against a problem. In X7, every time I zoom in close and select an object, the temporary dimension extension arrows block out the view. In X6 if you were zoomed in and selected something, the extension arrows would not show and would not block the view. X7 ends up blocking the view unless I turn the default dimension arrows down to zero. Unfortunately, this also effects all the manual dimensions as well. I’m using the same style of arrow in both X6 and X7. See attached picture. I click one side of the box and the temporary dimension pops up. From the selected line to the left is 12" and the arrow shows. To the right the temp. dim is only 1 5/8" and because it's so close, the extension arrow automatically doesn't show. So X6 automatically turns the arrow on and off depending on whether or not it covers the dimension. Is this a setting somewhere in X7? I took the pictures of the exact same plan, on the exact same line and in X7 and you can see it didn't disable the arrow on the 1 5/8" temporary dimension.
