In Rhino WIP, clipping plane widgets now supports a number of default arrow styles. You can also set the arrow size, font and line-type. This helps customize the look of different clipping planes to meet some of the drafting needs.

The following is the list of default clipping arrowhead types. Note that you can set different arrow type at either of the two ends of the clipping plane widget.

The line-type of the widget now follows the line-types of the clipping plane object

The size of the arrowhead and label will not change when stretching the clipping plane. It now uses the “clipping arrow size” in the annotation style property. The label text (font, gap and height) uses the Font properties the assigned annotation style.

You can set annotation style for each clipping plane in the clipping planes properties. This can be set per clipping plane and saves to document.
