How to configure arrow head size through modelcheck

Dear all,

I want to automate Pro/E to redefine arrow head size in the legacy drawings.

Don't want to use normal method of editing DTL file because for old drawings it isn't working out.

Please provide your suggestions.

My understanding of ModelCHECK is that you will not be able to do this automatically as it is a check that requires a selection from the user in order for ModelCHECK to update the .dtl that is driving the drawing.

If you're saying that editingthe DTL file on disk does not update existing drawings, yes, that is how it works. That's intentional as you wouldn't want to change, say dual dim options, which would likely be cause for a rev bump in many companies without the user's knowledge.

The contents of the DTL file on disk is read into the drawing upon creation and embedded in it when saved. If you want to apply a revised DTL file from disk, you need to do so manually.
