hard📝 Scenario Q9 of 15

Figma - Shape Tools and Drawing

ADraw the arrowhead as a separate vector shape and group it with the line

BModify the default arrowhead in the Stroke panel settings

CUse the Line tool and apply a dashed stroke to simulate the arrowhead

DConvert the line to a shape and edit the endpoints

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Figma's arrowhead limitations
Figma does not allow custom arrowhead shapes in the Stroke panel.
Step 2: Choose workaround for custom arrowheads
Drawing a separate vector shape for the arrowhead and grouping it with the line allows full customization.
Step 3: Evaluate other options
Modifying default arrowheads or dashed strokes won't create custom shapes; converting line to shape doesn't edit arrowheads.
Final Answer:
Draw the arrowhead as a separate vector shape and group it with the line -> Option A
Quick Check:
Custom arrowhead = separate vector + group [OK]

Quick Trick: Custom arrows need separate shapes grouped with lines [OK]
