Custom Arrow Heads

[charlesb40054599]

Is there a way to create new arrowheads or other shapes to add to the end of a line segment?

That question is answered in this thread:

Thank you, I searched but apparently not the correct key words.

Hi Charles:

You can't change the list of arrowheads, but here is a workaround to create custom arrowheads. You don't need to use Illustrator if you want something basic. You can create the arrowhead right in InDesign and then follow the steps:

If you have a Creative Cloud subscription, Illustrator offers more default options than InDesign (39 choices vs InDesign's 11):

And Photoshop has a variety of arrows to choose from in the Custom Shapes dropdown, and you can add to them:

Artwork prepared in Illustrator and Photoshop can be placed into an InDesign document.
