I am attempting to get my arrowheads to plot how they did back in GEOPAK/SS10. The first image shows the arrowheads from GEOPAK/SS10 and the second image shows arrowheads when plotted with OpenRoads Designer (FDOT Connect 10.10). It is a very small detail, however it is noticeable because the arrows appear visually smaller on plans. It seems the terminator weight (arrow outline) no longer applies to the default arrowhead in OpenRoads Designer, whereas it did in GEOPAK/SS10. Both versions are using the same dimension style with the same terminator selected (default) and line weights set to 2. Plot settings have nothing to do with this as the outline isn't visible in ORD (before being plotted).
Has anyone else noticed this or gotten this to work?
Jesse:
Are you using the legacy FDOT dimensioning tools or are you using the Civil Labeler? I assume the legacy tools as such is more applicable to what you are dimensioning. However, I would take a look at the Civil Labeler dimension styles which are being pulled by that tool. It is entirely possible that FDOT has changed a few things for their latest Workspace. I actually like the smaller arrowheads!

In both cases the "Place Note" tool was used.
My understanding was the Civil Labeler was for alignment or profile-based labels since they are focused on pulling station/offset/elevations. For user-populated text (such as curb construction or pavement markings) we use the "Place Note" tool. Also, I believe the Civil Labeler uses the same dimension styles that we would use for Notes, so it would still have the same arrowhead.
I will have to look into using the Civil Labeler tool regardless though, as it seems to have a lot of control over settings.
