The Arrow Chooser™ helps choose the oritentation of arrows.
The chooser distinguishes between several types of arrows depending on the type of arrow chosen. Here are the possibilities: "Right Hand, Left Hand, Superposed Hands, Right Hand Flipped, Left Hand Flipped, Superposed HandsFlipped, No Arrowhead".
The symbol in the top right hand corner is the currently selected symbol.
All of the settings can be selected using the keyboard.
You can switch from the wall plane to the floor plane and back using number 5 key. The top circle of rotations is for the wall plane and the lower circle of rotations is for the floor plane.
The numbers of the hand rotations selections are the 8 outside numeric keys of the numeric keyboard. Each of the 8 pointing away from the center.
Being the case that an arrow does not have a corresponding arrow in the other plane other circle of rotations does not show.
If a group of arrows isn't in the wall plane or the floor plane, the picture of the arrows in the plane will not display. The controls will provide an approximate orientation for the arrows.
The flip checkbox is to flip certain arrows. Click on the checkbox or press the '-' to flip an arrow.
