Hello,
i created a custom arrowhead but there is a really minimum distance to be fixed also if i move it with mouse at 800% zoom it is too big movement, is there a way to move the shape, fine tuning it with numbers or manually for a very little space?

thanks

Can you move it with the arrow keys?

But if you can’t move it a small enough amount at 800% view, will anybody really notice the difference at normal view?

soundcardB,

I suppose that you are talking about the Shape Designer - right?

If you in Finale set the Measurement Units to small units like e. g. EVPUs, then you can finetune the positioning by typing simple numbers in the fields.
