    Default Project north/True north arrow

    I suppose this belongs on the wish list but I think it would be very helpfull to have a true north/project north arrow that is sort of built in that would show the relationship between the two at any given time, any takers?

    that would be nice but you can easily create one with an angle you can change. we are using it and it's not hard

    Thats not really what I had in mind, I would prefer a north arrow whoes parameters are actually tied to the system true/project north

    how would you do that?

    it is simple enough to insert the parametric north arrow and rotate once in your sheet, and it's in for the whole project...

    Luckily true north never changes, so a parametric north arrow wouldn't really be that valuable. Cool, yes, worth development time, probably not.

    ps, what you suggest would be the "revit" way, so I do like the idea. Its just not a big issue.
