How I get around the issue of the point moving when the arrow is rotated by a parameter is I add a circle with an invisible line (dash line in image) that encompasses the entire arrow with the center of the circle where I want my ...

Jan 31, 2017 · For my situation, a simple workaround, which only seems to be one step longer than a truly "Smart" North Arrow, is to have a view set up to true north and correctly orient the north arrow on . Whenever you need a north arrow on a view, move it to where you want it, and then copy it and paste it as "aligned to same place" onto the rotated view ...

Jun 2, 2023 · This happens when switching between layout tabs in a drawing. Sometimes the arrow will point north relative to paper space, and sometimes the arrow will point in the north relative to the viewport's rotation. This seems to switch back and forth each time I switch back to a layout tab using a dynamic north arrow.

Oct 26, 2022 · In Civil 3D, when on the layout tab, there is a command in the ribbon for the north arrow, it will allow you to associate it with the viewport, so it will auto rotate with the viewport so that it maintains north as it really is in the view.

Sep 4, 2008 · Either way, but the idea is for the North arrow to be part of the title block sheet to eliminate having to place or copy it to all the sheets in the set. That is why John setup a rotational parameter for the North arrow, to be able to change the direction within a titleblock family when loaded and placed on sheets in the project.

Only caveat is if you place a view on a sheet and rotate the view 90°, the North arrow needs to be on the view BEFORE you rotate the view. The dynamo script adjusts the north arrows that are placed, so if you place a new arrow, you need to run it again.

Dec 6, 2016 · North Arrow aware of True North and Project North (Also, Sun Aware Families) It a little weird that Revit with all it's parameters, the possibility of defining true north and project north, doesn't let It does not have a way in which the annotation family for the north arrow can read the values of the true north and project north, and places on ...

Dec 3, 2019 · I had the North Arrow block as part of the title block and that didn't work, so then I tried to add the North Arrow block to my template instead and that still didn't work. How/Where is the North Arrow suppose to be added for it to work properly with the Plan Production tools?

Feb 17, 2021 · That north arrow appears to come from AutoCAD Map 3D and is "attached" to a viewport when you first insert the north arrow. Maybe someone deleted and re-created the viewport. That would make the north arrow lose connection to the original viewport. I don't know how to reconnect the block with the viewport, other than to insert the North Arrow ...
