A function to make the start and end points of arrows solid lines.

Post by Buntschann »

When using the "Arrow" function and selecting a "Boundary Style" other than "Solid Line," such as "Dashed Line," the "Start Point" and "End Point" will also follow the selected line style. (Top image)
However, when drawing arrows, there are times when you want the end point, in particular, to remain a solid line. (Bottom image)
I think it would be great if there was an option to select the "Boundary Style" separately for the start and end points, or an option to keep them as solid lines.

Hello, Buntschann

I will raise this with the Dev team, but I do not believe it is possible to do so. Comment appearance and property data are defined by the PDF Specification. If there is no defined property for this option, there is no way we could commit it to the document without risking damage to the file.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thank you for asking the Dev team to check whether there is a solution.
I understood that, due to the PDF specifications, there is currently no way to change this.
