I haven't been able to find an intro to the polyline tool. (Thinking of using it to indicate a slide in a scale diagram.) So far mine look kind of clunky, and I don't see how to add an arrow.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

There's not much to it really - the settings are in the Inspector, and you can change default in the Preferences (on the Lines page).

To make it into an arrow change the endpoint to the desired arrowhead shape. There's an example on page 10 of the "What's New in ND2" document which talks about polylines.

Here's a screenshot:

You can add bend-points by moving the dot(s) in the middle of the line.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Justin! Where can I find the What´s New in ND2 doc?

No problem! You should be able to see the "What's New in ND2" doc in the Diagram Gallery, most likely near the top. It gets installed when you first install & run ND, along with a folder of examples, "Example Diagrams".
