Making straight arrows curved

Hi Ruth, use the curve drawing tool to create the curved shape you want and the select the Shape outline tool > Weight to set the thickness and then select More Lines to select the arrow head.

Thanks Nancy this worked for help. Appreciate your help on this matter!!

This was my firt thought but when I tried this, but my arrow head in more lines is greyed out

I'm having the same issue. I can't select an arrow head with a curved line? Any insights?

Michelle and Leon can you say more about the steps you are taking  to create your lines and selecting the arrow because it works for me.

Hi Nancy

not working for me in either SL1 or SL2 when using freeform or curved line but the straight line is ok

see attached screencast.

Hi

I am uisng SL1

• I create a free form line
• I right click on the line
• I choose Format shape
• Go to the the line styles option in the menu
• The arrow types are greyed out.

This is the same if I use the Shape dialog launcher arrow.

It is fine for straight lines

It isn't a problem for me, I was just checking how do do it after the original question. :-)

Thanks

Here's the work around that someone shared that may helpful to all. In SL2:

1. I draw a straight line with arrows.
2. I draw a curved path.
3. I select the straight line with arrows and use the format painter tool to apply it to the curved path.

A little a bit roundabout, but it gets the job done.

Interesting, I just tried it again and cannot get it to work.  I swear that I tested this before posting the first time. Anyway, Leon's workaround definitely works.

The wonders of software - sometimes there is no explanation... ;-)

You said it Wendy!

Awesome tip!  TY:)
