Bezier tool arrowhead issues

Postby GaelMB » Sat Sep 22, 2018 12:32 am

Hi everyone,

New Inkscape user here and I have been confronted to a rather frustrating situation that I have been trying to resolve for hours now without success, so I am turning to you.

When using the bezier tool to generate arrows, the endpoint arrowhead gets placed at the begining of the path instead of the end and at a right angle to the path. Also if I try to put an arrowhead on the Starting node, it also appears on the first node, but appears under the line facing upwards. I do not observe this behavior with the free hand tool (bottom arrow in the picture) even though I drew both the same way. Am I missing something? How can I make sure the arrow points to the right like it should?

Thank you for your help

please make sure that you do not have a style enabled in the tool options bar for 'shape' ie not elliptical or triangle in etc it should be set to 'none'
Your mind is what you think it is.
