customize symbol section

[TECNOMECH]

Good morning, everyone.
I am a new inventor user and unfortunately I cannot solve a problem that I come to ask for your help.
I thank in advance all those who will intervene in the discussion.
my new client would like to start modeling 3d. until now he has always done 2d with autocad. of course in the passage to 3d wants to maintain all styles of execution of autocad table, text styles, quota texts, symbols,..........
until now I have set some things, like quotas, texts, layers so that in dwg translation it is similar to its settings.
the problem arises when I have to make sections. better explain: my customer in autocad has a custom arrow symbol made with an editable block with attributes to indicate the letter of the section. in inventor is there a possibility to customize the arrow symbol with a custom arrow design?
I noticed that in the translation .idw in .dwg this symbol is translated as a block and the arrow is realized with a design of lines, while the letter remains a simple text not with attribute. However already the fact of being able to customize the arrows with the custom symbol of my client would be enough.
I hope I have been clear enough in the exposure of my problem.

Of course...

the desire to maintain the style of autocad also on the designs generated by inventor, is a dream that we all have traced to the beginning of the use of the sw 3d.
Some things can be done easily while others are impossible to get, that of custom arrows seems to me to belong to this second category.
However, it seems to me a very secondary problem compared to the quality that 3d design offers.
the fact is that, initially, you focus on the things you know and, if the new sw. does not, this becomes the critical point.
I have provided for years a client who claimed the same thing, I have resolved to generate the masses at the table in inventor and to quote them and end them in autocad.
I don't have that client anymore and I'm happy with it, the others I've looked after the quality of the project and not the darts.
to note that, to date, I challenge any company to show me a documentation totally consistent with the design specifications, sometimes absurd and contrasting, imposed on suppliers and not even followed by internal technicians.

Bye.

the idea of stefano.

if you want to change the style of arrows you can go to the style editor, but also there you are forced to choose from the proposed alternatives.

the section letter changes quietly at will, without having to be a block with attributes.

if you are stubborn with a symbol (for habit...for maniacality. I don't know) I think the only one is to set up an arrow "none" in the style editor, and then manually insert a symbol made by the user or imported by autocad through the sketched symbol folder in the browser or by "annotate/user".

I'm full, too!
it would be really now that all those skeptical people on the 3d who still use autocad to create complex projects and not where the 3d would give a very clear and clear advantages, they would stop to consider autocad as the king of software (just because they may not want to learn or invest money on a three-dimensional program that would reveal to him things) and start to see a little more beyond their noses, maybe starting just from

already because while you lose in these baggianates and put a life to create a view in section in 2d, another with a program in 3d, has already beautiful that made in 10 seconds!
ah, however, dimeticavo: freccie are not equal to those of autocad!!!::biggrin: lol.
