Chris - This is a great tip! Thanks (I've done this thing "manually" lots
of times, but it doesn't size at all - your tip is excellent!)

Hi Cowtoon,

If you have a definite number of arrows that you want, do this:

1. Draw a line segment
2. Copy it several times, placing them all end-to-end
3. Select all the segments and choose Shape > Operations > Combine
4. Apply arrowhead formatting.

Or, you may need a custom line pattern instead. Look here for more info:

There's also a bunch of links about custom patterns at the end of my post
on Bubble Revision Shapes. Just scroll to the bottoom of this page:
