Is there a line style that has dashed arrows? I would like a dashed line with a arrowhead terminator at the end of the dash. The shapefile line segment is a long continuous line but I would like this style to show as short line segments each with an arrowhead terminator.
Attached is a JPG of a similar line I created in corel of what I am trying to accomplish in ArcMap.
Thanks.
Mapping Center Answer:
You can achieve this effect using cartographic representations. First, create a simple line.
Add a marker at end (rotated -90 degrees if tip of arrow is up).
And then the final touch: a dash as global effect. The initial line is broken into a dashed line, and the line+marker definition applies to each individual segment. Voila!
This is shown in the context of the marker editor, but the same would apply for any regular rule.
