was curious to see we can create "screen aligned" arrows using ANSI arrow symbols..

Here are some of the most commonly used ANSI arrow symbols along with their Alt Codes and Unicode values:

Left Arrow: ← (Alt Code: 27, Unicode: U+2190)
Right Arrow: → (Alt Code: 26, Unicode: U+2192)
Up Arrow: ↑ (Alt Code: 24, Unicode: U+2191)
Down Arrow: ↓ (Alt Code: 25, Unicode: U+2193)
Double Arrow Right: ⇒ (Unicode: U+21D2)
Double Arrow Left: ⇐ (Unicode: U+21D0)
Up Down Arrow: ↕ (Unicode: U+2195)

Hi Marky,

re:
> Is there a way to make an Arrow to be screen aligned too?

There is a setting for it which isn't exposed in the UI but can be set through a script.

If you put in this for the command part of a shortcut key it should switch the property for making the arrowhead plane rotate to face the viewer on selected dims:

script:
var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getAnnotations();
if ( objs.length > 0 )
{
objs.setProperty( 'rotateArrowheadPlaneTowardsViewer', !objs.item(0).rotateArrowheadPlaneTowardsViewer );
}
