    The image of the scissors attached to the dotted line are under the arrowheads....To create arrows in Illustrator, draw a line with the Pen Tool. Then, open the Stroke menu and apply an arrowhead to either the start or endpoint of the stroke using the “Arrowheads” dropdown boxes. Change the stroke Weight input to increase and decrease the size of your arrow.

      Draw a dotted line, use the line tool and place a line, use the stroke panel to select a dot stroke and weight.

      Draw a text frame, then go to your wingdings font, and open up the glyphs panel (Type>Glyphs) and look for the Scissors symbol in the glyph.

      What do you mean by "with scissors"? You can make cut lines with any tool that can make lines (like the pen tool, for example).

      Sorry, I meant with a scissor picture symbol, so people know where to cut it

      and send back that portion.

      I would also like to add that many people, including myself, use Illustrator to create and format packaging components for pharmaceutical products (OTC and RX). The literature you receive inside your medicines and pharmacy products have very strict FDA guidelines, at least here in the states, but also overseas. There are rules about every single detail. I found this thread because I'm having the same issue inserting a scissors symbol on a medicinal insert - there are rules, people! Not everyone can read their prescriptions in the language that's on the package. I agree with Raj293784533rig, that comment was ignorant and unhelpful.


      Talk about unhelpful You are both very much out of line complaining about 13-year-old observations. If you have a problem start a new post. I'm locking this one!
