Point label style arrowheads don't work through xrefs PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 27 February 2008
  1. Create a new drawing from the acad.dwt drawing template.
  2. Set the annotation scale to 1"=40'.
  3. Place some points manually.
  4. Drag the labels of the points so that the leader arrowhead is visible.
  5. Create a new Point Label Style with the dragged state arrowhead set to origin indicator 2.
  6. Change the Point Label Style of the manually placed points to the new Point Label style.
  7. Save the drawing (Points-1.dwg).
  8. Create a second drawing from the acad.dwt drawing template.
  9. Save the drawing as (Sheet-1.dwg).
  10. Set the annotation scale to 1" = 40'.
  11. Overlay the first drawing (Points-1.dwg) into the second drawing.
  12. Zoom extents and view the arrowheads.
The arrowheads revert to closed filled when viewed in the xref drawing (Sheet-1.dwg), but are still origin indicator 2 in the original drawing (Points-1.dwg). 

Workaround:
The current work-around is to use the origin indicator 2 as the marker style but that leaves a gap between the end of the leader and the marker.
