Question:
We want to create Custom Section Arrows in a special format. Is it possible to achieve exactly what is on the picture?
Answer:
You have to create new section mark symbol with Symbol Editor. By default section mark symbols are on symbol file sections.sym (..\<version>\environments\common\symbols) so open that file with Symbol Editor and make a new symbol. You can for example copy lines from existing symbol like 11 to get circle with line and then add fill area for the arrow part.
Then change XS_SECTION_SYMBOL_LEFT_ARROW_SYMBOL and/or XS_SECTION_SYMBOL_RIGHT_ARROW_SYMBOL to sections@192 or whatever is your new symbol number.
Now when you use section mark symbol "custom" it will show the new symbol. After that you can use dialog settings for the rest. Notice that if you have used custom symbol earlier somewhere those will change too.
