How to make Arrow Head Smaller in i^2

    How do you make an individaul arrow head smaller in i^2. I'm trying to
    point to the inside of a small radius, and the arrow head is longer than
    the radius. I don't want all the other arrows smaller in the drawing,
    though.

    Thanks,
    Larry

    First, Larry, if you have a feature too small to put a normal sized arrow on, you
    should be making a detail view, blown up so you can see it and put a normal sized
    arrow on it.

    Second, since I wouldn't want to be one of the saps that gets a crummy drawing
    with a micro-sized arrow on it, I'm not going to tell you how to make one.

    Dave,

    I only wanted the arrow to be about 80% of the length of the other
    arrows, not micro-sized. And the view was already 10:1. I made a custon
    arrow using Sketch/Line commands, but was hoping for something a bit
    more internalized to proe for this type of need.

    Don't worry about getting one of my drawings. I don't give them out to
    saps like you!

    Highlight the dimension/note, click the right mouse button to flip the arrow head
    to the outside of the radius. This is the standard, ANSI approved (ANSI Y14.5M)
    way of solving your problem.
