The "right angle" arrowhead has gone missing from my system. All of the others work but if I select right angle I just get a blank where it should be.

What program are you using?

There's no real reason why any of the arrowhead styles that come standard with AutoCAD should be missing.  Someone would have to intentionally delete it or there was a problem during the original installation of the program. 

Is this a new install?

One other possibility.  You didn't try creating a new arrowhead style by any chance did you?

This is not a new installation.

The right angle arrowhead has been in use previously and I have not tried to create a new arrowhead style.

Where are the arrowheads stored. Is it possible to import from another computer or can I repair my installation?

Try resetting your Profile first.  If that doesn't work then you could do a REPAIR of the installation. 

You could also recreate the right angle arrowhead yourself.

How do I reset my profile and what else is that likely to affect?

Options > Profile.

Any of the settings you access via the Options dialog box would be affected.

I thought all the arrowheads were blocks but I can't locate them.  OK...so I went back into my drawing and changed to the Right Angle arrowhead and created a dimension.  Then I exploded it.  The Right Angle arrowhead is definitely a block but AutoDesk programmers thought that the name _Open90 was much more appropriate than Right Angle.  Now that I know what to search for maybe I can find the damn thing.

Crap!  Even with that bit of info I still could not find the block on my computer.

Well if you don't want to reset your Profile or do a REPAIR I could WBlock out the arrowhead and upload it here along with instructions on creating your own custom arrowhead which if you did do it I would use the name Right Angle and avoid using _Open90.

Got to step away from my desk for a while.

I uploaded a block named Right Angle.dwg and placed it in the CAD Blocks section under Architecture > _Other.

And here is a link about creating custom arrowheads and how to use them.

http://www.cadblog.net/creating-arrowheads.htm

Consider this your fall-back option.

Good luck.

Thanks.

I'll give that a try later.
