Arrowheads

Legacy Intaglio
1

Two questions: 1) When I create a custom arrowhead, is it stored anywhere? It seems to vanish when I quit Intaglio.

  1. Is there a way to change the size of a single arrowhead in a document? I don’t want to go to the Edit Arrows dialog and change things, because I don’t want successive arrowheads to change size, too.

Make a special document to store your arrows there ; when you open
that document, your custom arrow heads are available (drag them into
your work) ; or use the library in the same way

Don’t change the existing arrow heads, make new ones in the editor
(click on the + button !)

I’m still confused. So far, the only way I can find to re-use an arrowhead in a new document is to open the document where I created it, and then paste it into the new document. Is there a way to make this new arrowhead appear in all new documents in the arrowhead drop-down list?

I notice that in the Arrow editor, there’s a drop-down menu (that looks like a gear) with the choice “Use in new documents.” But it just beeps at me when I choose it.

I would also be happy if I could store my arrowhead in the library, but I can’t figure out how. Drag and drop doesn’t seem to work.

  1. Open the Library (Window menu).
  2. Create a new page and name it ‘Arrows’ (or whatever).
  3. Select the custom arrow, press the Option and Command keys and drag it into the Library’s Arrows page.

Every time you open Intaglio, the custom arrow will appear automatically in the Library.

To use the custom arrow in a new document, drag it from the Library into the current document.

To delete the arrow, drag it to the Trash.

I had not seen that item ! but I don’t understand how to use it…
