DesignSeries00040.pngCreating North Arrows 

Use the North Arrow tool to indicate the drawing orientation, in a variety of configurations. The deviation from true magnetic north can be displayed on some of the configurations. If the design layer is georeferenced, the object is rotated to point in the proper direction.

North arrows maintain a constant size regardless of the drawing scale.

  2. Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the rotation.

The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette.
