Arrowhead size in viewport

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi everyone,

I am currently creating diagrams and, as the grey background in the layout is annoying me, I am simply creating them in the viewport with the printDisplay on, which actually works well, except for the size of the arrowhead, which does not seem to be adjustable.

I have tried unsuccessfully in the options and also in the Properties menu.
Have I overlooked something?
Thanks and best regards,
Baris

that’s right, unfortunately. use leaders instead.

Thanks @encephalon.
That helps, but unfortunately it comes with an … appendix on the top, if I apply a width:

hm, that is strange indeed, i dont use dimensions recently, i did never notice that. one work around if you want things printed and pretty is to explode the leader and use a hatch to fill the arrow head.

@Gijs could you have a look? i think there is something wrong with leaders and dimensions, i tested with 7 and 5 and there it works as expected. in Rhino 8 the lines overshoot the arrows when printed or set to PrintDisplay. actually the arrows undershoot more precisely worded.

Hi -

That issue is on the list as RH-84808 Display: Arrows on Wide Curves
I’ve added this thread.

@stevebaer why this is this set to future when it already had been working before? i never noticed since i never made any prints from v8. but that is actually quite an important issue.

i must also say that this has less to do with wide curves but happens on any curves, you just see it stronger on thicker curves.

Maybe you are not aware that you can change the layout background to white or whatever other color you want via Options > Appearance > Colors…

Thanks @Helvetosaur,
I somehow thought that, but since I did not find it neither in the layout properties by right-clicking on the “Page1” tab nor in the properties where you can change the viewport colours I gave up.

I don’t recall this ever working. I often move items around in priority also so what the release target is set to may change on any given day.

you are right. after checking properly once more on v5 and v7 i must admit that my lines where apparently never thick enough to notice. i am quite surprised.

but on the other side i found a few of these complaints over discourse that stayed unnoticed. so there is a bit more demand for it than noted in the tracker, just to point that out.
