Open the blockeditor and select your new block.You define your northarrow as a block with a name you want.You have first to fix the right Units inside the drawing, for example meters or Inch.Yes, it's a little static that the names of the two Parameters are fixed. I don't recall the specifics but it's something to do with coordinate systems. Note - that there have been issues found with these north arrows. North arrow should appear and function properly. Save the file as same name and same location on the PC. Remove any north arrows from the file you don't want used. Once that's done, close the block editor and save. When you bring in your north arrow you'll need to modify the parameter set to pick up your inserted linework. These north arrows use Dynamic block Rotation Parameters to function - it is critical to maintain the existing parameters when modifying. Go in and modify an existing north arrow by getting into the block editor on one of them and bringing in your custom north arrow.
Use the one with the same name "Map - North Arrows.dwg" as the command looks for this drawing from this location. To customize to your own north arrows, make a copy of the file (for backup of OOTB version). MDCBlocks is the "Container File".Ģ013 North Arrows are here: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\Sample\Symbols\Ģ014 North Arrows are here: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014\Sample\Symbols\Ģ015 North Arrows are here: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015\Map\Sample\Symbols\Map - North Arrows.dwg I'm attaching the files I used for testing in case someone wants to see how. When creating one of these, you're prompted to select a parameter - normally you choose a rotation parameter but in this case, you choose the Rotation SET Parameter.
You need a dwg file that CONTAINS your North Arrow (that doesn't make any sense to me - this should be more like the design center in which I could choose a directory that contains north arrow blocks).There are two things this link doesn't tell you: I've found something that helped me figure it out. I was looking for info on making a custom north arrow too when I came across this thread. I haven't seen a tutorial - possibly look for something under the Map3D documentation? since the command that actually places the arrow is a Map command.
