  Method 2: Use the le command.

Enter "le" - enter the starting point - enter the end point - press "esc". Note that the arrow is at the starting point, so pay attention to the direction when drawing. In addition, the arrows drawn by this method are generally smaller. At this time, select the arrow and leader, right-click, and find Properties - Find at the bottom: Arrow Size, change this value to adjust the size of the arrow.

Another: Enter "le" - enter "s". This step is setting. A dialog box will appear. In the dialog box, you can change the form of the arrow, such as a hollow arrow or something.

How to add dashed lines in autocad:

1. Here we take CAD2014 as an example. The operation of other versions of CAD is the same. Open CAD, create a new document, or open a document that requires drawing dotted lines. In order to draw a regular dotted line, you need to create a new dotted line layer, click "Format", and then click "Layers". As shown in Figure 2
