- DenisM 18y agoThat's better. So how about them, custom components? :-) Yesterday I played with balsamiq to create a wizard flow-chart and found myself in a need to have a straight left to right arrow which does not seem to be possible. I ended up using the curved arrow and I think it turned out looking even better than a straight arrow would, but the lingering desire to have more control over the document has remained. Overall I think you're onto something really big here. It amazing how much easier it is to perceive the pseudo-hand-drawn boxes compared to absolutely accurate shapes.
- balsamiq 18y agoHi there DenisM, Peldi here from Balsamiq. Re: arrows: there's a little slider in the floating pop-up which lets you choose the curvature of the arrow. If you stick it in the middle the arrow will be straight: http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/help#pi http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/help#pi Re: custom components. In order to keep the app as simple as possible, I have been telling people to use the image import feature for it: http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/help#images http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/help#images - just draw what you need however you want to, and bring it in as an image. Thanks for the feedback!
- DenisM 18y agoThe best I could do is this, and the tip of the arrow is dislocated: http://screencast.com/t/AWBzNtwG http://screencast.com/t/AWBzNtwG Yes, I've seen the pictures-as-controls suggestion. Maybe I should try it more, but it seems like won't be able to create my own controls with text fields and other parameters etc.
