    Red face Dimension Arrowheads and Viewport property Hide Plot

    AutoCad 2002, Solid Model, Layout with two viewports. When Viewport property Hide Plot is set to "yes", the closed filled arrowheads plot as closed blank. The other viewport on the same layout that has hide plot "no" plots correctly. Dimensions are in Model Space.

    This is one of the reasons dimensions should be in pspace.

    Hi

    "Unfortunately" AutoCAD is working "correctly" with regard the Closed Filled Arrowheads...

    ID: TS37857 - Filled objects are not filled when plotted

    Have a good one, Mike

    FILLMODE IS 1. Gigum(class of '63) I think the closed filled is one of the few arrowheads that doesn't create a block.

    Not really.

    Using Hide loses fills - arrowheads, wide polylines, outline fonts, whatever.
