Mithferion Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It’s inside all of the shape tools, among the triangle, the cog, etc. Best regards!

It's one of the shape tools, but I'm not sure if it's configured by default or if you need to use the View > Customize Tools menu to get it. Look for a shape tool with the little triangle on the lower right, click it, and see if it shows up: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

mcdonald386 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Thank you. I see it now. It creates excellent horizontal arrows but funny vertical ones. The vertical arrows seem to narrow at both ends. Is this normal? What I can do is create a horizontal arrow and then rotate it by 90 degrees.

Bad_Wolf Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 You can also use "Convert to curves" which lets you change the individual nodes with the "Node" tool. Also take a look at the context toolbar for the arrow tool. I experimented a little with it and it gives fine control over the arrow. What puzzles me is that you can draw vertical arrows. Maybe you are using the 1.7 beta but I can only draw horizontal arrows in the 1.6.x version. Can you tell me how you can draw vertical arrows? Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

I, too, can only get horizontal arrows, regardless of which version of Designer I use.

mcdonald386 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 I thought I was drawing a vertical arrow but now I know better, I have just tried it again and when you click and drag vertically you get nothing. When you drag up slightly off the vertical you get the shape on the right which I thought was the strange arrow. I clicked the right hand handle and dragged it right and got the diamond shape. I dragged it further and got the horizontal arrow. I got the shape on the right by selecting it and dragging the rotation handle. I do think vertical arrows should be easier to create than this.
