In my template i've 6 or 7 different styles that are different by font, text height, text style, arrow type and all are annotative...
I've some styles with circle as arrow type and I use them to enlight different zones of the drawing.. as you know that zones are not always the same and that's the matter about my issue with resetting the style...
In a draw i could have 30/40 of different circles radius/size so you understand that is quite unconfortable making new styles for every diameter. Wink

That truly seems excessive.  Seems like the answer would be a Dynamic Block where the size of the arrowhead is changed relative to the diameter of the circle.

+1 on the Dynamic Block idea.  With that many conditions and options it sounds like a perfect candidate for a DB with visibility states.

Are you talking about a Dblock as arrow??? (let's try)
Or about a brand new Dblock with all that option i wrote above??

A brand new dynamic block is what we're suggesting.  If you don't want to use styles for this then a DB is another answer.
 
Draw one block with 3 or more of the conditions you would like to set to get started.  Make them all on top of each other but with discrete elements/objects.  Then create visibility states so that only the correct things show.  You can have as many as you want, certainly 30 different conditions.  You can always build more states once you get going.  For something complex like this you might need to experiment with methods of building the block most efficiently.  I would draw each condition separately and then pull it in and set the state... but that's your choice.
 
AutoCAD Help uses a welding symbol dynamic block example to illustrate the concept of visibility states.  My impression of what you'll be doing seems very similar.
 
Have fun!  Embarrassed
