Reaction Arrow

Use the Reaction Arrow tool to draw a variety of reaction arrows. Click on the button alongside the arrow that you want to use followed by OK.

Arrows are drawn, from the tail to the arrowhead, by clicking, holding, and dragging the cursor. Reaction roles are automatically assigned to fragments when an arrow has been drawn. If reaction roles are not assigned, erase and redraw the arrow in closer proximity to the fragments.

Shortcuts

Click right on the Reaction Arrow to select the default arrow.

Note: Reaction tools are disabled for normal drawing modes. Select the Rxn Tool from the toolbar or choose Show Reactions from the Display Menu.
