Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 582 Creating custom arrowheads in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland,…welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now today's episode I think will prove of great interest…to anyone who uses Illustrator.…And it doesn't matter which version.…Arrowheads, which is what we're going to be talking about,…date back to Illustrator 6.0.…So here's the idea, unbeknownst to you perhaps…is a file on your hard drive called Arrowheads.ai…and it contains every one of the 39 arrowheads…that are available to you these days…inside the stroke panel.…Well, guess what?…You can modify this document and any arrowheads you add…will appear automatically inside your stroke panel.…
