Access arrowhead folder to add our custom arrowhead like illustrator allow to, possible?

[Johnny Chin]

Hey guys, so I see that you can actually access an arrowheads.ai file to modify or add your own arrowhead so that you can add your own arrowhead to the vector line’s end and it will act like true vector, is this possible in Affinity Designer? If yes where’s the arrowhead folder?

link to the guideline how to do it in Illustrator:

Hi Johnny Chin
You can open an ai file (if it contains the PDF stream) and edit it but it's not possible to do what's described in that blog article. Currently Affinity Designer doesn't support custom arrowheads. The dev team do have plans to implement it later as far as i know.

Just wanted to check to see if this is still a feature that Affinity plans to eventually add?

Thanks!

Now that Designer 2 is out, is there any hope of getting custom arrowheads on vector strokes? Soon?

Doing diagramming being limited the small, random set of pre-defined arrowheads is a real bother. I have to either use the wrong symbol, or laboriously add custom drawn arrow heads next to the end of the stroke.

My next book is due this spring (using Publisher 2 on the iPad, long awaited, please give my compliments to the dev team) - I assume there is no hope for a solution before then?

PS: Previously I used InkScape on the Mac. They did have custom arrowheads.
