How To Draw Arrow In Autocad

In this tutorial, we will try to draw a solid arrow in Autocad using polyline.

The arrow should look similar to this:

Here is a sample dimensions that we are going to use in drawing a solid arrow similar to the above image.

	stem_width = 10
	stem_length = 100
	arrow_base = 30
	arrow_length = 30

Below are the commands that we are going to use:

	plinewid = // Set the line width initially
	pl = // For drawing polyline
	w = // Setting the line width during the drawing process

1. Enter 'plinewid' as the command, and set it to '10'.

2. Enter 'pl' as the command to start drawing the polyline. Click on the desired area to set the starting point. (In this tutorial, we are going to draw an arrow pointing to the left).

3. Enter '100', the stem length.

4. Enter 'w' to set new width of the line and enter '30'. (This will be the base of the arrow).

5. Enter '0' (zero). This is the distance between the base of the arrow and the tip of the stem.

6.Then hover the mouse to the right and you will see a stretching solid triangle. Enter the length of the arrow pointer (triangle), in this case '30'.

That's it guys.. Hope this helps to those who need it....
