    Default Create a linetype with a solid arrowhead and a broken line

    Hi everyone,

    im trying to create a custom linetype with a broken line and an arrowhead to denote the path of a walkway. I have used the express tools, create a triangle, hatch it with a line pattern, explode it (to pretend to be a solid hatch) and turn it into a shape (for some reason if i create a solid hatch im not able to create a shape after). Attached is a DWG of my custom line wich has at least this folowing functional problems:

    1.- when i try to modifi the global width the onli part of the line that gets modified is the beggining and the end of the line.
    2.- the linetype module used - > - line-triangle-line, cannot follow the path of a curve in a "continuous line". see attachment please
    3.- i have not been able to use a solid hatch for the arrowhead.

    in the attached file are several examples of the linetype created and what i would lke to get as a result.

    thanks a lot for the help!!

    The 3.shx shape file must be the arrowhead you created? You would have to attach that file as well for us to look at it, shape files do not embed into drawings.
    Using Arial font the Unicode character U+25BA is a BLACK RIGHT-POINTING POINTER you could use. It's a solid right pointing triangle, there may be something closer in another font.
