Hello All,

I'm looking for an option to draw SVG arrowhead through script. 

PFB svg arrow drawn using svg reference element(marker). When SVG file is opened in adobe illustrator, there is data loss. 

 

 

 

 

 

Have any one experienced this. Is there any alternate way to draw svg arrowhead?

Hi, here is an example of a fairly normal svg generated straight from Illustrator. Note I've used a symbol for the arrowhead, assuming that you'd re-use it many times in the same file. Only tested in Chrome and Safari on MacOS. See "Save As..." settings below, too. My apologies if this misses the point, but it is an alternative way.

 

Regards,

Mark
