Arrow heads on dashed line

[Leanne_cw]

I'm trying to create a dashed line with arrow heads along it's length in illustrator. I don't think it's possible to do just with dashed line options (is it?), so I'm trying to create a brush which would have the same effect. The problem is the arrow heads are distorting on corners which does not look good. Is there a way to work around this at keep the original arrowhead shape? The line I need to dash/arrow has lots of tight corners.

You could use a scatter brush instead.

Make a scatter brush of just an arrow.

Then with the appearance panel, apply 2 strokes to the path: one with a dashed line and one with the scatter brush

Monika's idea is brilliant! I'd add that you could keep the first line as a regular dashed line, and on the scatter brush for the arrow, adjust the spacing options and set the Rotation relative to Path.
