FOUND IT in Help:
 
Linetype names can contain letters, digits, and the special characters dollar sign ($), hyphen (-), and underscore (_).
 
No allowance for < or >.

You may have used them as arrows before in a linetype definition (and so have I), but have you used one in a linetype name?  I haven't dug into it, but I know not all characters can be used in all types of names [of linetypes, hatch patterns, Blocks, Text Styles, etc.] -- try naming them without that somehow, and see whether they work.

I doubt it.

I made an adjustment to the spacing and added a second version.

Is this what you are looking for?  Pay no mind to the spacing as it's a work-in-progress.

HI Guys,

Trying to add greater than/less than arrows to my linetype. Have used the following definition:

*FIBRE-V<1,Fibre-V<1 ----FIBRE-V<1----FIBRE-V<1----FIBRE-V<1----FIBRE-V<1----FIBRE-V<1----FIBRE-V<1--
A,.5,-.2,["FIBRE-V<1",ARIAL,S=.1,U=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.5 
*FIBRE-V>1,Fibre-V>1 ----FIBRE-V>1----FIBRE-V>1----FIBRE-V>1----FIBRE-V>1----FIBRE-V>1----FIBRE-V>1--
A,.5,-.2,["FIBRE-V>1",ARIAL,S=.1,U=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.5

I have included an arrow before when defining a pumped water main linetype; however this doesnt seem to work. Can arrows only be used in certain circumstances??

Any help greatly appreciated
