Imported Dwg arrowhead problem in VW10

[SteveW]

Hi Guys, here's a trip down memory lane for some (most?) of you, but I'm using VW10 (not 2010!). Anyhow, I'm importing a dwg file to rescale it and no matter what I do, it seems that there are some arrowheads from the autocad drawing that refuse to rescale. I have ungrouped the items before rescaling but they refuse to play ball. the attributes are showing that they are classified as polygons, but the selection areas are differing sizes, some just the arrow, others are a much larger boundry. I'm sure I had the solution to a similar problem when I was using VW12.5, but typically, I'm now wasting too much time trying to remember/experiment, whereas I'm sure there will be a flurry of answers from the forum (even if it is just to gloat over your much higher spec VW versions and tell me what a numpty I am for missing a blatantly obvious point :grin: )

I have found in the past when the arrowheads don't scale with the rest of the drawing it's because they are symbols. Edit the one, then, and they do play ball.

I think some DWG arrowheads are separate objects from their leaderlines. So the symbol might contain a line segment or two plus a triangle or other "head" object. And some fills are drawn in DWG as separate objects within the outline shape being filled, so the fill color area might be yet another object to scale.

Might be worth a look.
