I am referring to drawings.

Stew,If I understand you correctly, you wish to change the size of yourarrows on the drawing default.  The location for doing this is Toolspulldown>Options>Document Properties> and select Arrows in the Detailsection.  This will bring up a screen that will allow you to changeyour arrow sizes.  This is a global function, however.  If you needneed to only enlarge certain arrows but not others, I'm not sure thiscan be done automatically.Matt of

Thanks, but I am want to have different size leaders in the samedocument. Thanks for the input though...

Stew,Ok, there is a way.  It's a bit convoluted, but it is possible.  Openup any drawing with dimensions.  Edit the global values for Arrows asI noted above.  Click on any dimension.  In the Dimension Propertieswindow, select the Add or Update Favorite button in the Favoritessection.  Type in a new name for your favorite and then OK.  Now clickon the Save a Favorite button and save your settings to a file.  Exityour drawing without saving.You will now be able to recall that particular arrow dim size in anydrawing by selecting the dim and clicking on Load Favorites button inthe Favorites area.Matt of
