Draw Widget - rotate arrow point symbols OR add arrow end to lines

JaneHogben — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 03:44:27 GMT

Users want to be able to draw arrows pointing at elements in Experience Builder.

Either allow point arrow symbols to be rotated OR add the option to add an arrow end to a line drawing please.

This was available in Web app builder but I cant get it to translate in Experience builder. Surprised no one has commented or answered this question yet.

I do see that draw point has arrows that can be dropped.

I am creating instructions on a page but need to draw an arrow to point to the things that I am pointing out on the page - and not the map. Such as pointing to charts, etc. Hard to believe that you can't draw any kind of element in Experience Builder, given that there is a lot more to it than maps.

Are there any plans to add the arrow drawing option to the Experience Builder draw widget, like what was available in Web App Builder draw widget?

+1. I'm adding the Draw widget to an experience so users can create custom one-off maps. It doesn't look like users can rotate the arrow symbol graphics added to the map. Having that as an option and/or being able to draw lines with arrows at the end (to label objects or show the direction of something) would be very helpful for users creating custom maps.

We need this.

Please address this issue. Our users either need the arrow draw mode that was available in the WebApp Builder, an option to add an arrow at the end of a polyline, or the ability to rotate and resize drawn points.

It's comical that there are literally hundreds of arrows available in the draw a point mode, but they all point either up or down. Having options for placing, then rotating, then resizing all the available point options would be awesome.

However, I would hope that the most practical fix for this is to just give us back the arrow draw mode. Please make this a priority, as the current workarounds for hand-drawing arrows with either the draw a polyline or polygon tools are poor substitutes that reflect badly on our map products.

We have end users that are wanting the same functionality (drawing arrows) from their old Web App Builder to the new Experience Builder we transitioned to.
