The Straight Line & Arrow tool
This tool makes it easy to draw single segment straight lines and to add arrow heads and tails to any lines in a way that is much easier and more powerful than doing the same thing with the Line Gallery.
Drawing & editing straight lines
Simply click and drag on the page to draw a straight line. You can click on any existing line to select it, and once selected you can click-drag on either end to move the end of the line around.
Adding arrowheads & tails
The InfoBar has two dropdown lists on the left which allow you to choose an arrow head or tail style for each end of the selected line.

Reverse path |
The slider on the InfoBar allows you to change the size of the arrow head and tail on the current selected line. Or you can enter a percentage value into the size text field to the right of the slider.
Enter a value less than 100% to reduce the size of the arrowhead (and tail), or greater than 100% to increase. Although the slider only takes the size value up to a maximum of 800%, you can enter percentage values larger than this into the size text field.
