I don't know what happened, but now when I am in a sketch all of my arrows on my dimensions are really big and are cluttering up my view something awful. I poked around the settings a little and didn't stumble across what I was looking for and I didn't see anything in the right click menu. That being said it is probably there and I just didn't know what to call it.

It is strange because if it takes something in the settings menu to change these arrows, it wasn't me. I haven't messed with my settings since I got the interface to how I like it.

Thanks

Correct Answer

I opened the file and Edit Sketch.

The arrows are too big.

Hit the Space Bar and went to Front view.

The arrows resized to reasonable size.

Murphy's law rules.

OK, it is starting to come back to me. If I recall correctly -

In the classroom lab we would see this issue and resolve by toggling back and forth between ISO and ANSI standard (we use ANSI in my class).

For some reason we would have to go back and forth twice for the fix.

Attach a *.sldprt file here that exhibits this behavior.

I remember seeing the behavior before, but don't recall the fix.

I played with the Scaling of the arrows, but I didn't see any change in behavior. If Murphy's law is still in effect, this will look perfect to you. To me the arrows are far too large and don't seem to match the font.

Everyone is familiar with Murphy's Law, but are you familiar with Cole's Law?

No?

It usually thinly sliced cabbage with a vinegar and/or mayonnaise dressing.

Thanks for the help.

I find that I have to uncheck it, then check it again for it to take effect.

I tried it several ways at your suggestion, but none of them seemed to really do anything to the arrow size.
