Mapping Winds - Easy way to draw arrows?

Mateus090985 · February 2012

So, I am doing the wind apart of my world ansd want to know if there is some easy way (maybe in some Annual) to draw arrows to represent my wind directions. The best way until now is to use the "arc" tool and then add a triangle to the point... no so pratcal really

Suggestions?

Ok, I found the CA57 Mapping Guide - Military Operations useful. But I cant change the arows... They stay black and do not draw their head.

Type WARROWD on the command prompt to get access to the arrow settings. That should enable you to configure both the head and the color. Works fine for me at least.

I use splinea for the arrow, and astyle for the arrowhead style and size.

Don't know where JimP go them, but they are well documented in the help file. Just search for "Arrow".

I think I learned it from a discussion some years ago. The tutorials are a great place to learn things about CC2/CC3.

When I think that I know the program well, I discover that I am still a newb ... Thanks a lot for your commets guys.

I doubt I know everything about CC3, but I don't use many of the new things like effects.
