    I think the big difference is--now that I remember back a year from when
    we switched from 2001--is that you have to actually be moving the
    dimension to flip the arrows. In Rev. 2001, you could actually flip the
    arrows when the dimension was just highlighted--you didn't have to be
    moving it.

    I think the slight difference in WF2 is that you have to hold down the LMB
    while dragging the dim and simultaneously click the RMB to flip the
    arrows. It feels awkward. I don't remember exactly how it worked in 2001,
    but I think in 2001 you don't need to hold down the LMB to drag (I could be
    wrong though).

    It works a little differently now. It's kinda tricky because in WF2, you
    have to hold down the LMB while dragging the dim and simultaneously click
    the RMB to flip the arrows. It feels awkward. In 2001, you don't need to
    hold down the LMB to drag the dim.

    Sorry if you get this more than once, but I'm having trouble with my posts
    not showing up.

    This discussion seems odd. It works for me.
    Here's my details:

    1. In a drawing...
    2. select a dimension with left mouse button.
    3. left CLICK AND HOLD on the dimension, you should be able to move the
    dimension.
    4. while HOLDING the left click from step 3, right click (click and release)
    should flip the arrows

    To sum up, you are holding down the LMB while moving the dimension and you
    should be able to right click to flip arrows.

    I can move the dimension and flip the arrows at the same time. As mentioned
    before, this is likely a problem with how the clicks are held and released
    (mouse sensitivity or something like that)

    I gave up on that years a go and wrote a macro FA flip arrows.

    It works for me every time, anytime...

    LMB to highlight the dimension, release LMB. Move the cursor over the dimension number itself and when you see four arrows, RMB and hold for ~1 second - the menu will then pop up with 'Flip Arrows'.

    I have both 2001 and WF130 on my machine. The difference is in 2001 the
    dimension has to be moving for the arrow to flio. I wrote a mapkey
    because I did not like moving dims around that were lined up.



    mapkey fa @MAPKEY_LABELFLIP ARROWS;#FLIP ARROWS;@PAUSE_FOR_SCREEN_PICK;



    In WF2 it is better. You LMB click on the dim then RMB click to flip
    then back to LMB to accept. Dimension does not have to move, That is
    good! You do not have to hold down the LMB and RMB at same time.

    It's actually a little different in WF2. You see you have to hold down
    the left mouse button and click the right button while the right is
    still down....sorry I couldn't resist!

    Wow! Using WF2 is quite difficult when it comes to flipping arrows. You
    have to hold the LMB and click the RMB 50 times before the arrows will flip.
    At least that's how many times people have answered this same question! 🙂
