I have added a new item to refnotes and selected the area arrow type (the two half arcs at the end of the line). However when using the callout function the default arrow type is displayed. The refnote number is correct and the fill and shade settings are correct. just not the arrow type. I have purged the unused block types.
There are other area arrow types in the drawing.
What am I missing? Any thoughts as to where the hang up is?
I finally had to delete all the hatches associated with that refnote, delete the refnote, then recreate all of it. It was something that happened when that note was created. It is working now and is linking to the correct mleader style (which was already in the drawing)

Thanks for the help.

Brandon,

You can select the RefNote, and look in the Properties panel to see what MLeader style it is using. In the CAD MLeader Style Manager, simply rename that style, and the next RefNote you place will redefine it correctly.

I renamed the mleader style and ran a purge on the drawing to make sure the old blocks and styles were gone. Then used Refnote to make a new callout and it is still showing the same default arrow type. Other thoughts?
Image attached is the refnote setting for the particular item and the callout with how it displays.

Brandon,

From the looks of it, that arrow block definition is not available, so CAD is reverting to the standard Dim arrow.
Have you tried this in a blank drawing? If it works there, you can explode the MLeader, and then WBlock out the _Integral block, in order to bring it into this drawing.
It could also be that a simple Audit will fix it.
