Size, pens and orientationSet the symbol and check its direction in the drawing.

Crosshair size and the north bar’s length and width are paper dimensions. The crosshair and bar have separate pens, allowing their graphic emphasis to differ.

The north bar follows Project North and compensates for the object’s rotation and mirroring to preserve that direction. The crosshair remains aligned with the object and does not rotate when Project North changes.
