Draw North Arrow

This command inserts a north arrow symbol. You can select from several styles of arrows, and you can add your own by using the Edit Library button which is similar to the Symbols Library command. The north arrow symbol library is stored in the narrow.dta file in the USER folder.

The Label Geodetic North option draws a line for geodetic north and labels the convergence angle between grid and geodetic north.

The Label Magnetic North option draws a line for magnetic north and labels the angle.
