(I'll be very surprised if this hasn't been asked for before but couldn't fins anything via the forum search)
Markers (arrowheads etc) are always driving me nuts because it's difficult to set what you want and then make it persist.
I can add a custom "marker type" to that marker list (in the case above it's #2). And I think that's then supposed to stay there between sessions/drawings, although I always suspect it of disappearing sometimes.
And I can set that marker type #2 to be applied to a pen attribute for class A.
So, then as long as I draw a line in class A, and make the attributes by class, any markers I toggle on, will be of the type #2.
I can also set that marker type #2 to be applied to a pen attribute for class B.
And if I draw a line in class B, and make the attributes by class, any markers I toggle on, again will be type #2.
So if I change my mind about the market type I want applied to those two classes, I can just go and edit "marker type #2" and all "by class" markers in those two classes will change, right? Wrong! They don't change at all, and when I go back to edit the two classes, the marker type is no longer "#2" but "custom". #2 has been changed but disassociated from the class. So, for every single class where I want to change the marker, I have to go in and re-associate it with the revised "#2".
This is quite a big pain to do. So my wishes:
1. Let us create a "marker style" rather than a "marker type". When we edit that style, any instance of a marker in the drawing, that is defined as that style (whether per object or via class) changes.
2. Let us create the "marker style" with a useful name of our choosing such as "construction drawings dimension arrowheads" rather than a meaningless "#".
