How to draw an arrow head inside a path?

[Malte_Persike@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

when I add the arrow effect to a path, the arrow head exceeds the path endpoint due to the fact that the arrow center is placed at the anchor point. Is it possible to have Illustrator match the *tip* of the arrow with the path end point?

The workaround I'm currently drawing upon is not to use arrows as effects but as filters and then change the position of the seperate arrow head yielded by the filter. Is this the only way to do it?

Best wishes, Malte.

Gosh, thanks a lot, Jacob. I searched for "arrow" and "arrow head" but did not use the combined term. Guess I have to work on both my illustrator and searching skills ;-) .

Bye, Malte.

Malte, you are right, maybe more than you think: sometimes it requires a lot of skill to search for the same thing expressed differently.
