Bi-Directional (Two Way) Arrows?

Post by netwrk219 »

I have arrows that I use to indicate motion or an action in the documents I create. I sometimes have to create arrows that move in two directions and on top of that, I sometimes have a curved two way arrow. Now I can do this in PhotoShop with ease, but in Flare (via Capture), I would have to layer one arrow on top of the other (in opposite directions) leaving an unsightly line at the overlap.

There has to be a a way to do this in the Flare environment without disrupting the workflow, right? Especially when Madcap software and Adobe software don't get along so well?

You can make a new palette, open up the arrow you made in Photoshop in Capture (I like PNG files), select the area in the editor, and then add it to your palette. Better yet, you could add slices for customized arrows.

It's all right here too in Capture's help: http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/captu ... te%20image

Capture has it's benefits, especially with the layers. I prefer to stick with Photoshop and Illustrator.
