Coastalguy Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 When I first purchased Affinity Photo over a year ago, it was advised that my request to add arrowheads to the line tool would be considered. To cover this option in the mean time, I purchased Serif DrawPlus 8 which did have this option. I now create my photo in Affinity Photo plus, save it and then re-open it in Drawplus to add text and arrows. Now for some reason, in DrawPlus 8, when I click on the text tool, and then on the color wheel, it immediately crashes DrawPlus. This has happened each time I try this, for the past 10 times or so. If arrowheads could be added to Photo Plus, I could care less about DrawPlus crashing. Can anyone advise if this is a possibility, or do I need to go back to Paint Shop Pro, suffering with the terrible Corel customer service???

v_kyr Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Well I can't tell if the Affinity product line will ever have arrowheads added to line segments and the like. - But until then I would suggest instead to use some other software which does deal with those. AFAI recall a bunch of diagramming software like Visio, LibreOffice Draw (freeware) and even Powerpoint or Keynote etc. do support such things in the one or other way.

Medical Officer Bones Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Last week I worked with LibreOffice's diagramming tools for the first time, and those were actually pretty good. Nice auto-connect arrows too, with the option for automatic linear or curved arrow paths. And free! When I was done I exported as SVG and imported for some polishing up. Worked fine. So I second v_kyr's suggestion to look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
