Arrow

The Arrow tool is used to draw "leader lines" (multi-segment lines with an arrow at one or both ends). They are typically used to call attention to some part of your drawing. The type and size of the arrow is defined by the Arrow style option. Arrow styles are defined in the Arrow style definitions setting panel. When an arrow style definition is changed, all of the arrows in your drawing that were drawn using that style will reflect the new settings.

The options described below can be found in the bottom app bar or in the control panel.

The Layer option selects the layer on which new objects are created. Selecting a layer also selects the default color, line type, and line thickness used to draw the object. These properties can be overridden using the Properties tool. Layers are also used to logically group objects within the drawing. Layers can be created, modified, and hidden in the Layer definitions settings panel.
The Ends option determines whether arrows are drawn at the beginning of the line, the end, or both ends.
The Arrow style option allows you to select a named arrow style set which defines the size and type of arrow. Arrow styles can be created and modified in the Arrow style definitions settings panel.
The Edit Last option gives you an opportunity to modify the points used to define the last object created without leaving the current tool. This can be especially useful when using touch input because touch is an inherently imprecise way to locate points. You can use the arrow keys on the keyboard or control panel to fine-tune the location of each point. When you finish editing the object (by deselecting it) you will return to the current tool.
The Done option ends the definition of the current line and allows you to start a new one. This only applies to multi-segment lines.
