mcrone Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I'm new to Affinity Designer and I'm going to be using it to make diagrams of biological pathways and to annotate data. I've stumbled into a problem when creating curved arrows. I can convert the arrow shape to curves, but it becomes very difficult to maintain the shape and thickness of the arrow. If you look below the curved arrow still doesn't necessarily have the same thickness throughout even after optimising it. While I am at it, I would also like to create a circular arrow that gets thicker as I go around. I've also attached an example (circular arrow, although it doesn't get thicker as it goes around). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote
ronnyb Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 There are no arrowheads as stroke caps Affinity apps yet. Try this technique in the meantime, it seems like it may work for you...

mcrone Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 Thank you. Works well. Hopefully we get arrowheads for strokes soon because that would be the ideal solution... ronnyb 1 Quote
ronnyb Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Glad it helped. Yeah, we'll get them, and they'll be awesome... In the meantime we get to be MORE creative with our tools, lol... Thank you.
