Autocad arrow line update#

Can someone please walk me through this? I understand that it is not an simple press of a button, and I will have to go through a process of creating a new sub-category to a family. I need to change the line weight to my arrowheads, but not to the leaders. It can be a bumpy road but in the long run Revit is so much better to work and design in than CAD it isn't even funny. There is a time and place for workarounds and chicanery but honestly this isn't one of them. There are some things that Revit will display differently than AutoCAD, just like AutoCAD displays some things differently than Hand Drafting (or Microstation, or FormZ, or Vectorworks, etc.) and your boss will just have to learn to deal with it, just like my boss did and just like so many others have before. If you will go to this much trouble of a workaround for a simple thing like an arrowhead thickness, then Christiana, you have only begun the disastrous workarounds that will subsequently follow. Using a Spot Elevation tool as a textual leader is absolutely asinine. I'm sure others will follow up, but you need to stop this right now. If Revit is required, then your boss will have no other choice but to give in to Revit's limited options on certain things. If your boss will not bend on these little things, then don't even bother using Revit.

I'm going to keep trying to find a better way! I'll update in this post!I'm sure others will follow up, but you need to stop this right now. But I figured I'd share these findings, since I asked the questions. AND MAGIC! pic 4: FINISHED! Unfortunately there is way too much text in my drawing to make a new text for every single one. Photo 3: scroll down in the type properties and change 'top value' and 'bottom Value' to none. change symbol to the text you just created in the project browser, and edit the line weights accordingly. now, photo 2: make a spot coordinate, (you'll need a reference plane because it is supposed to attach to walls and whatnot.) Edit type - change leader to arrow head of your preference. Type the text you want the leader to say here. photo 1: You gotta go into your property browser and scroll down to 'spot elev symbol' open any one of those sub categories and duplicate. Use a spot coordinate instead of a text leader. So far the only way I found to do it is very. I'm going to keep trying to find a better way! I'll update in this post!
