Arrow size

Specifies the default leader arrowhead size for dead joint symbols.

Note: If you select the size labelled "By NameOfStandard", the arrow size is linked to the arrow setting of the master settings of the drafting standard. If the master settings change, the arrow size value for dead joint symbols change accordingly.
 

Color

Text

 

Height

Note: If you select the text height labelled "By NameOfStandard", the text height is linked to the base height setting in the master settings of the drafting standard. If the master settings change, the text height setting for dead joint symbols change accordingly.
 

Color

Specifies the default color for the symbol text of dead joint symbols. If the text height changes, the color automatically changes to the default color corresponding to that text height. Text object colors are set from the Object Property Settings dialog box.

Note: If you select the color labelled "By NameOfStandard", the text color is linked to the base text color setting in the master settings of the drafting standard. If the master settings change, the text color setting for dead joint symbols change accordingly.
