Designers are always looking for ways to make their projects easier to create and manage. One of the most popular tools for design projects is Figma, an online platform that allows designers to easily draw, edit, and collaborate on digital designs.
Figma makes it easy for designers to quickly create high-quality graphics, but there are some tricky elements that can be a challenge to add. One of these tricky elements is an arrow, which can be difficult to type in the program.
Most people don’t realize that it is actually possible to type an arrow into Figma. The first step is to locate the right tool in the left panel of the program.
This tool is called the Text Tool and it looks like an “A” icon. Clicking this will open up a text box with a blinking cursor.
Once you have opened the text box with the cursor, you can start typing your arrow. To do this, you will need to type in a special combination of characters that looks like this: “→”. This combination of characters will generate an arrow when you hit enter or click outside of the text box.
In addition to being able to type an arrow into Figma, you can also style it however you want. The simplest way to do this is by using the color picker tool found in the left panel of Figma. You can select any color from the palette and apply it directly onto your arrow so that it matches your design perfectly.
If you want more control over how your arrow looks, there are several other tools available as well. You can adjust settings such as stroke width, start/end points, roundness and more by clicking on each option in turn and making changes as desired.
Conclusion: Typing an arrow in Figma may seem like a difficult task at first glance but with a few simple steps it’s actually quite easy. First locate the Text Tool from the left panel then use a special combination of characters “→” which will generate an arrow when hit enter or click outside from text box. After that use color picker tool or other tools available in Figma such as stroke width, start/end points and roundness settings for styling your arrow according to your requirements.
