mapline Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hi Cannot seem to add arrow head to a line. How is this done or is it missing?

Staff MEB Posted November 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hi mapline, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) This wasn't implemented in Designer yet but it's on our roadmap. There's however an Arrow Tool (shapes popup on the toolbar on the left) that may help in a few cases. mapline 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapline Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks MEB that tool is perfect. Can now create line with arrow at either end!

mapline Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Just one follow up questions? What is the difference between the Width and Thickness control? Thickness works great on the line but width seems to stop under 2pts.

Staff MEB Posted November 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 22, 2016 The Width changes the thickness of the stroke around the whole arrow shape, while the Thickness change the "thickness" of the line between the two (arrow) ends. What do you mean with "but width seems to stop under 2pts"? The slider values should vary between 0 and 100pt (or other unit depending on document setup). You can also write a value bigger than 100 in the input field if needed. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapline Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 I understand now and that explains all. Far more flexible and easier than PS to me. Under 2pts does work now I understand. Only bug (if its a bug) is that after an arrow is confirmed (click of mouse or keypad) if switches from Arrow to Node mode. Surely it should stay in Arrow mode.
