Arrows

Frequently, you will need to draw attention to items on the plan, but will not want to use a callout box. RapidPlan provides two arrow tools for this purpose:

  • the Arrow tool,
  • the Arrow Text tool.

As the names suggest, the latter carries a text component at its base. The arrows can be curved or straight, as shown.
