Weight = 12 Weight = 12

Arrowheads. Select where the arrows will be located on the line: at the start, at the end.

Arrows Arrows

Arrow Width (3-100). The parameter specifies the width of the arrow.

Arrow Width = 225 Arrow Width = 225

Arrow Width = 525 Arrow Width = 525

Arrow Length (3-100). The parameter specifies the length of the arrow.

Arrow Length = 300 Arrow Length = 300

Arrow Length = 900 Arrow Length = 900

Concavity (-50..50). The parameter specifies the curvature of the arrowheads.

Concavity = -25 Concavity = -25

Concavity = 25 Concavity = 25

 

By holding down the Ctrl key, you can move the shape with the mouse. By holding down the Shift key, you can select multiple shapes.

You can also use shape editing tools.
