Thank you Hi Cari,

I work with ads, and I wonder if it’s possible to set “Align stroke to inside” as default?

Thank you

Arrow heads on line segments are easily added in InDesign (Stroke panel) and Illustrator (Effects >Stylize). To get a 3D look, you can use the Blend function in Illustrator. Create two lines, slighlty offset one a thick stroke weight the other a thin stroke weight and blend these together... You'll probably find you have to run a blend command on the arrow pointers separately though, as even applying Object > Expand Appearance will probably not get you the desired result. But the quickest method to get a 3D-ish looking curley tail would be to Blend two lines :) Hi Lynne,
