MegaPixel Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I've been wishing for something like this for a long time in Photoshop - Not only the ability to assign different shapes to your "Arrow Heads" but also different line-types (Dashed, Dotted, custom...) to your lines. I've settled on doing it the hard way for now by drawing 2 regular projection lines (Default Line Shape) and then 1 perpendicular dimension line with the Arrow-Head feature turned on for both ends. There might be a way to streamline the process through the use of Actions? -Mega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodler Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 This could be a bit slow but zoom into an arrow head in ACAD press print screen then paste the image into a new PS doc, then select by colour and cut it out and paste into a new doc, make sure its got a transparent bkg when you create it and paste your arrow head into that file, select define brush from the drop down menu and there you go you haev created a new brush head in PS. Now you can draw an arrow head as and when you need one to any size you require.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doodler Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 PostPS. By creating a brush head you can scale it to suit your needs.....thought that was obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
