Line/stroke ending in arrows
Line start and end should allow arrows, triangle, or circles
Original request:
(this covers some topics already tracked elsewhere on UserVoice: please upvote those other suggestions if you're interested in dotted lines and CSS-driven styling).
In CSS and other adobe tools we have Stroke or Border options like type or style (dotted, dashed) start and end (arrows, triangle, circles). In XD we do currently have weight and color options, though it will be amazing to add these options to reflect dotted arrow line or dashed border around a rectangle etc.

Several of the items originally mentioned here are covered by other feature requests already:
- Dotted/dashed lines: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/13024749-dotted-and-dashed-line-border-styles
- Accept CSS as input for styling XD elements: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/12926715-use-css-to-specify-object-appearance
The only suggestion I think we don’t have listed yet is arrow-head line endings. To keep the request list tidy, I will change the title here so it is specifically focused on that one idea. Please upvote the other links above so your interest in those features is captured too.
Thanks for your feedback!

Please don't make me use Indesign or PPT to create my flow charts :)
I would love for XD to be my one stop for flows and wires!

Yes please! Trying to show screen flows with arrows is a basic UX deliverable, and it cant be done easily in any Adobe tool. I shouldn't be expected to export all the screens and do this in Illustrator.

How is this still not in here? This does not fall under the earlier items like dotted and dashed.

Lunacy is light-years ahead of Adobe XD, can't wait till I'm no longer forced to use this tool. 6 Months of HELL!

Currentlly I do a lot of Architecture Information and Wireframe stage design and having an option for line edit with arrowhead endings is a deal breaker between XD and Sketch.
The closer the function will look like in Illustrator the better.

Upvoting to get a line/stroke with optional end-of-line additions, like arrows and circles. UX people do A LOT of user flows and this is a basic necessity for a user flow. Which is why I'm surprised that it hasn't been done for 4 YEARS.

I am upvoting this need for basic arrows and line types within XD. Lets get it going Adobe!

Wow, Adobe after having developed so many applications, couldn't think of having a simple arrow at the end of a line for an application that is mainly developed for creating flow charts, wireframes, UI kits, etc., is simply unbelievable... Please add this ASAP!

+1 Please this is needed for UX Journey / Flow diagrams. Also please add the ability like Sketch to click on a control point and add a corner value on that point. This will allow us to stretch lines with arrows and they (1) keep their corners intact at let's say 15px and also add line endings, e.g. open circle where it starts and arrow where it ends.

I would like to convert my entire design organization over from using Sketch to Adobe XD but there are still too many things missing in XD currently to justify doing so. I believe in the long-term vision of Adobe and am confident XD will get there in time but I would like to urge the team to do more and do it sooner to the benefit of the entire design community. The interoperability between Adobe applications is world-class and the security, extensibility, and community are all incredibly deep. Just need to make it easier to do things like add arrow heads to line segment endings and much more of those types of simple design tasks.
