    Post Where do I put the block?

    Where or in what folder location do I place a block to allow me to choose that block when crating a custom leader arrow?

    AutoCAD LT HELP does not reveal this important piece of info?


    Any input would be appreciated. Also, suggest how I might search more correctly for this topic?

    Thanks

    P.S.

    This is the exact text in the online help page?

    You can create your own custom arrowheads.


    Arrowheads are stored as block definitions. To use your own arrowhead, provide the name of a block definition.

    Depends on how you have your work flow set up. I put them in my template so I have them when I want them. for some other blocks that I use only occasionally I have them in folder that is easy to navigate to because I don't use it often I have to have it easy to find

    For starters, in the drawing file in which you are creating the dimension style that will use your arrowhead.
    I'm pretty sure you used to be able to put it anywhere on acad's search path.
