Turn on the Annotative option in the Scale For Dimension Features group. You may recall
from Chapter 9 that the Annotative option allows AutoCAD to scale an object automati-
cally to the drawing's annotation scale.

Click OK to close the New Dimension Style dialog box. The Dimension Style Manager
dialog box appears again.
CREATE CUSTOM ARROWHEADS
See Appendix D, “System Variables and Dimension Styles,” for details on how you can create
your own arrowheads. AutoCAD also lets you set up a separate arrow style for leaders. You'll find
Appendix D on this topic's website, www.sybex.com/go/masteringautocadmac.
USING THE LAYOUT VIEWPORT SCALE FOR DIMENSIONS
If you use the Scale Dimensions To Layout option in the Scale For Dimension Features group of the
Fit tab, AutoCAD uses the layout viewport scale to size the dimension components. See Chapter 8,
“Introducing Printing and Layouts,” for more information about viewport scale settings. This can
be useful if you have a drawing that you want to print at multiple scales.
