North Arrow and Datum Point Tools
North arrow and datum point annotations are used for defining directions in
a drawing. Formerly available as content blocks in DesignCenter, these
annotations are now available through tools on the tool palettes and in
Content Browser.
In this release of AutoCAD Architecture, north arrows and datum points are
converted from DesignCenter content blocks to true tools with tool properties.
North arrow and datum point symbols
By default, all north arrow and datum point tools are set to be annotative,
which means that the annotations you insert with these tools are controlled
by annotative scaling. For more information, see Annotation Scaling on page
3637.
IMPORTANT If you have legacy drawings with old DesignCenter-based annotation
symbols in them, then the old block definition will continue to be used for new
tool-based blocks if the blocks are identically named. (This is the case for the datum
point tool, but not the north arrow tools which have been renamed.) In such a
case, either change the Annotative setting manually by using BEDIT, or rename
the old block before inserting new tool-based annotation symbols into the drawing.
You can find north arrow tools and a datum point tool in these locations in
a default US install of AutoCAD Architecture:
