To Insert a North Arrow or Datum Point in the Drawing

1. Select a north arrow or datum point tool on a tool palette.

   A north arrow tool and a datum point tool are located on the Annotation palette.

2. Specify the insertion point of the north arrow or datum point in the drawing area.
3. Specify the rotation.
Note: North arrows and datum points that have been inserted with a north arrow or datum point tool can be modified in the drawing and saved back as a tool on a tool palette. By default, a north arrow or datum point tool created that way will have the same layer key, layer overrides, and symbol as the original tool that was used to create the annotation symbol in the drawing. The symbol location will be the current drawing.
