Difficulting drawing arrows

Post by knichols »

Is anyone else having a difficult time drawing arrows?

I am having a terrible time with it. I want to draw very simple arrows. I'd be happy with straight arrows, though I suppose arrows that can turn would be ok. However, the arrows I'm drawing will not stay straight. They end up awkward and meandering all over the window - the end result is an arrow that is bent in many places and I keep accidently bending it further when I try to move the arrow. Can I somehow set an arrow to stay straight when I am creating it?

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Not in this version.

I've submitted a request for this, - some snapping to straight lines.

If you're hoping to draw some callouts, try using the Flare's bubble callout alternatives if those are acceptable.

Alternatively you could create square boxes with a number inside, and paste them inside the screenshot.
If you submit your bug feedback request here, the more likely it'll get fixed or included in a future release

Have you heard anything back on this? I've found that by dragging the larger circle in the middle of the polyline to the left or right side of the polyline that this straightens the line, but I'd prefer not to have to do this every time. Thanks!
