Script: Make Circles of N Block Arrows Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
For cases which need more flexibility than the Curved Block Arrow stencils, the following script can be adapted to generate block arcs with arrows at both ends, and/or circles of single-line arrows.

(Probably helpful to select the generated shapes and use Edit > Shapes > Make Custom Shape)

Code:
property pTitle : "Make Circles of N Block Arrows"
property pVer : "0.07"

Updated the script (above) to add a dialog for adjusting the number, width, direction and position of the arrows.

Also added a stencil containing a tool which uses this code as a script action.
