Drawing Tools: Arrow

The Arrow option allows the user to add an arrow between any two points on a view. To add an Arrow:

  1. Select Arrow from the toolbar or the Add Tool sub-menu of the Tools menu.

  2. Enter the first point graphically with the mouse, or enter x-y coordinates in the prompt line. NOTE: the Vertex Snap and Grid Snap options are available in the right-click menu, if you want to snap exactly to certain coordinates.

  3. As you move the mouse, an arrow head will appear at the point entered in step 2, and a line will connect the point to the current cursor location.

  4. Enter the second point graphically with the mouse, or enter x-y coordinates in the prompt line, and the Arrow will be added to the view.

After an Arrow has been added, it can be deleted, moved, re-sized or formatted. See the Move, Re-size, Format topic for details.
