Hello,
Can we have pre-made arrows in InDesign, or do we need to create them ourselves?
I’m talking about this style of arrow: "vertical process arrows"!
For example: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/conception-plate-botes-de-processus-de-flches-tapes-39743668.jpg
If I could have the same ones from top to bottom that would be perfect!
Thank you
Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 53.0.2785.143

Hello,
Two solutions are available to you:
1 - By using the polygonal tool and playing with foreground/background (for the first block, you just need to use the anchor point deletion tool to remove the central point on the left).
2 - By importing the illustration and tracing the first two blocks with the pen tool (and duplicating the second).
Now, if you want exactly the same thing as the model (subject to copyright), you will need to be careful (colors, arrangement of elements):

I know, it’s a hassle… but it avoids getting into trouble.
Unless it is for private use (no commercial distribution or on the web), then there is no risk.

Actually, I don't want exactly the same thing! This image was to give an idea of what I wanted...
I would like the arrows to have a vertical orientation (instead of horizontal like in the image), and I will use my own colors...
What do you mean by "playing with the foreground/background"?
And by the way, I always struggle between choosing the black or white cursor: which one should I choose?? It always makes me make mistakes afterward...
Thanks again for your help! :)
Otherwise, directly here:
Otherwise, the black arrow selects the entire block (allows it to be moved or resized homothetically), and the white arrow is used to select one of the anchor points of the block only.
