Jim Smith Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Suddenly I seem to have arrowheads showing up on every line I draw. The Attribute pallet is set to Class style - I've looked to see if this is a setting but to no avail. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
beanus Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 had this happen once had to copy everything into a new file Quote Link to comment
Eoin R Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 See recent thread. I am having the same issue with VW2010. The only solution seemed to be to copy the drawing into a new blank file. This was very time consuming as all references and saved views had to be recreated. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You have the attributes pallete to set on arrow heads. You can set them by class and set them on or off. Turn them off and regenerate all objects. 1 Quote Link to comment
brian-rwc Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 we are having this problem right now on VW 2011. All arrows are shown turned off on the attributes pallete (per class defaults). We have checked and re-checked that over and over again. You draw a line and an arrow is automatically added and the attribute pallete immediately grays out the arrow selection to show it is now selected. Then you have to manually turn it off. I am using VW Architect 2011 and I can fix the problem by immediately pulling down the center arrow for 'make all attributes by class'. That option is not available on the Fundamentals version most of the office is using. This is a serious pain. At least using the architect version to fix the problem in fundamentals is easier than the cut/paste into another file. It seems like a bug to me. Anyone have any other suggestions?

mike m oz Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Brian can you please post a file containing a few of the problematic objects so one of us can look at it and try and determine why it is happening. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I've also seen this - but it magically stopped, are you running the latest SP4, it might help. Quote Link to comment
maarten. Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Just an idea, but maybe the internal settings of your document are set to "use arrowheads" but it just isn't showing in the Attribute dialog... Happened to me before in VW2011 (not with arrowheads though). Try this script and see what it says, when "TRUE", they are indeed turned on. PROCEDURE GetIt; VAR tmpbool : BOOLEAN; tmpint : LONGINT; tmpreal : REAL; bmark, emark : BOOLEAN; BEGIN tmpbool:=GetDefaultBeginningMarker(tmpint,tmpint,tmpreal,tmpreal,tmpint,tmpreal,bmark); tmpbool:=GetDefaultEndMarker(tmpint,tmpint,tmpreal,tmpreal,tmpint,tmpreal,bmark); Message('Begin marker: ',bmark,', End marker: ',emark); END; RUN(GetIt); Run this script on a copy of your drawing (not that it wil make any changes to your drawing, but still...)!

Eoin R Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 We have had problems with random arrows in files which we have got over by creating new files and copying/pasting the existing information. A definite waste of time but the only thing that seemed to work. We are now finding odd behaviour in a new file where we are getting random arrows in viewports if the viewport is set to sketch render. Files attached show the issue. Has anyone come across this or have a solution. Thanks, Quote Link to comment
krws1 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Has this been resolved yet? It just started on one of my files. It is too complicated/far along to copy and paste into a new document. VW2010 Architect SP4 Quote Link to comment
Eoin R Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It seems to come and go as an issue without any rhyme or reason. Luckily for the past while we seem to be free of the random arrows. I would be interested to know if this has been fixed in VW 2011 or 2012 Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I've started having this happen in one file in Vw2010 and I don't know how to fix it. Additionally in this same file, if I run the 'Make all Attributes By Class' from the Attributes palette, Vw immediately crashes. I really don't want to have to cut and paste everything to a new file. I ran the script noted above and it comes back 'TRUE'. Any other suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance. Regards, Tim Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Select nothing in your drawing, and then set the arrows in your attributes palette off. Useally, this is what causes this problem. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest Blars Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 This started happening for me as well in VW 2017. Turns out a simple button got clicked or activated by quick key inadvertently. Deiter was right but ill include a graphic of the attributes pallet that i hope helps. When in the attributes pallet there are a few buttons that control arrows from either the start of the line or the end of the line. click these to toggle the arrows. (clouded in red) To change the style of the arrow, use the drop down buttons to the outside of each of the red clouded buttons mentioned before. These will switch the style of the arrow at that respective line start or end. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
mariavista Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thank you for your solution!! So simple! Quote Link to comment
colinmacsuibhne Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just so anyone knows, if you were having the same issue as me, it might not be the arrow heads, its the show direction option to put a red arrow on every line showing the direction of the vector in the drawing. If you select one of the lines with the red arrow in the middle of the line, at the bottom of the object info panel is a box that says 'show direction'. Uncheck this. Quote Link to comment
Laurenk Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I have arrowheads showing up at corners of only two landscape areas and the arrowhead attribute is greyed out, so can't unselect that. Used attributes dropdown to select "use default attributes" and the arrowhead just shifted position. Tags are off . I cut and pasted areas into new drawing and the arrows disappear. Suggestions other than cut/paste all to a new file? Drawing almost done and this issue popped up. Edited April 21, 2021 by Laurenk Quote Link to comment
lgoodkind Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Ah the EVER OCCURRING arrows showing up all over the place. I have never used a piece of software so prone to such ridiculous errors. I have a file that has them showing up on all the hardscape objects. Why on earth can we not set a class arrow style to NONE!!!!!!???????????????????????????? WHY ARE THERE ARROWS ON HARDSCAPE OBJECTS? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
bob cleaver Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 If a previous line or shape had arrows selected in the attributes palette, the arrows stay on with the hardscape - even changing the Hardscapes everywhere - try deselecting the hardscape and with nothing selected, see if the attributes palette shows arrows, if so deselect the arrows - Quote Link to comment
GarrettBurleson Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 This has happened to me several times, most recently when I went to edit a section in place, all elements in my section style class started showing arrows... Anybody know what's up with this 10+ year bug? 1 Quote Link to comment
lgoodkind Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 amazingly you have to actually go in to every class and make sure the default arrows are set to 0.00 size to get rid of them. I'ts the only thing that works/ Quote Link to comment
