Hi @ErikJ , thanks for your feedback here!

I’m a PM at Lucidchart and we recently released a feature that pairs with line markers that may help you — attaching a gif of what it might look like for your use case.

In words: if you select a line, change the style to add a marker, and then open up the right hand panel (image below), you can split the arrows across the line marker. This may give you a workaround for seeing directionality in the middle of the line. You can drag the marker along the line to change the location of the marker and arrow. 

Thank you again for the feedback — we do read this and value the context and ideas. Let me know how this works for you!

This is great, thanks for sharing! I tried searching help and communities for a solution but didn’t turn up any results. I think this addresses my need for the most part. The only suggestion I have is to provide an option to turn the marker into the arrow. It would help reduce some of the clutter generated by enabling this feature. But overall, a great solution to the need!

So glad to hear it, and we will keep the arrow possibility in mind for sure. Thanks Erik!
