Place Active Line Terminator

Used to place the Active Line Terminator cell on a line, line string, arc, or complex chain, primarily to place arrowheads. The line terminator maintains association with the element on which it is placed. Thus, if you move or rotate the element, the line terminator moves or rotates along with the element.

  • Ribbon: Drawing > Home > Placement > Cells split button
