# How to Draw Arrows in DWGSee CAD

In DWGSee CAD, you can draw arrows using several methods depending on your needs. Here are the most common approaches:

### **1. Leader Command**

This is the most flexible method for adding arrows with annotations:

- **Steps**:
  1. Type `LEADER` in the command line and press Enter.
  2. Click to set the arrowhead location.
  3. Move the cursor to draw the leader line, then click to place the tail.
  4. Enter text or annotations in the text box that appears.(Enter directly to just draw arrow)
  5. Right-click to exit the command.
  6. Edit Properties to change arrows.

**Tip**: Use `MLEADER` for multiple leaders at once.

### **2. Pline Command**

Create a simple arrow with line width control:

- **Steps**:
  1. Type `PLINE` and press Enter.
  2. Draw the arrow line.
  3. At the endpoint, enter `W` (width) and set a larger width (e.g., `0.5`).
  4. Continue drawing a short segment to form the arrowhead.
  5. Reset the width to `0` and close the polyline.

### **3. Using Dimension Arrows**

Leverage dimension styles for arrows:

- **Steps**:
  1. Create a dimension (e.g., `LINEAR` or `ALIGNED`).
  2. In the dimension style manager (`DIMSTYLE`), customize the arrowhead type and size.
