I've read that those are identical, but I saw on SignMaker 2017 that there is another name for it with the word "Between" in the description. So... Can someone help me with that?</blockquote><br class=""></div><div class="">ANSWER 1</div><div class="">Diagonal Arrow FORWARD, moving away from your chest, towards the HORIZON in front of you...</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">All Diagonal Arrows are showing movement that is "between" moving forward and moving up or down. So a Diagonal Arrow is automatically a "Between" arrow - between the normal arrows of straight up and down and forward - Diagonal Arrows are showing movement that is "between" the Front Wall Plane and the Floor Plane.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Some of the symbols you are referring to are older symbols...and they still exist, but we RARELY use them.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here is the idea behind those symbols...</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The Horizon Line is written across the double-stem-line of the up or down arrow. It can be placed higher or lower on the stem of the arrow, depending on the angle of the diagonal. See attached diagram.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We generally only use the one with the Horizon Line in the center since it is simple information "Diagonal Forward" - most of the time the details of the exact Diagonal are not necessary for writing signs for daily use...</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">But if you are a researcher who needs the "In-Between Diagonal Planes" technically you can write those by placing the Horizon Line at different levels on the Up or Down arrows. See attached.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Adam - Did you do a video showing each one of these "In-Between Diagonals"? I remember you created a wonderful diagram - I loved it and I need to find it! Please post it ;-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="0F9E5446-E6B6-4A6C-846C-0622E849E98D" src="cid:F3F677D9-3296-48B0-8794-BD7404B146F9@san.rr.com" class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>________________________________________________
