To create elbow arrows, pick the arrow tool and switch the arrow type from the properties panel. For the initial release we are not yet supporting manual segmentation. Improvements to routing and general behavior coming soon!

@mtolmacs @preetster Nice! Will this be available in the API?

Excalidraw2 years ago

Absolutely! We'll need to make a stable release, but you can also use the next tag today (ESM).

@mtolmacs @preetster ok, I'm switching from @tldraw

Roman Pakhomov2 years ago

@mtolmacs @preetster Would be nice if the arrows were fixed to the center of shapes. That's the only thing stopping me from switching from tldraw

We're changing the arrow binding behavior to be more intuitive and intentional! Now if you want to bind an arrow, you have to drag its end points. This way binding won't happen in all manner of other cases you usually don't intend. By Mark Tolmacs 💜

We've redesigned simple arrows binding behavior. Easier to work with, more predictable, and those cases where arrows get all messed up when you move things around are fixed :') ↓

Thanks to good people at Anthropic we now have an official MCP for Excalidraw! Take it for a spin on Claude (search for Excalidraw in Connectors, or use in Claude Code and elsewhere). More to come. ✌
