Question

Illustrator Beta arrowheads all look the same

When I drop down the menu to change the arrowhead on a stroke, it looks like every option is hte same arrowhead. I have to go through manually to see what each one really is. I've never had this problem before... Is this just me?

Are you running the latest build (28.2.41)? The arrowheads in my installation are working normally.

Hi Bobby,

Thanks for the reply! Yep, I'm running 28.2.41.

The first step I would take is resetting the preferences file. When launching the Illustrator Beta press and hold Alt+Control+Shift for Windows or Option+Command+Shift for OSX. If resetting the preferences file doesn't work I'd remove and reinstall the application.

 

There are other possible wild cards at work. Microsoft has pushed some updates to Windows. NVidia just released a GeForce Experience update. Normally it's a good idea to keep OS and device driver updates current. Sometimes the company will release an update that causes more problems than it solves.
