Hello I'm making a Lucidchart diagram for which I need a symmetrical curved arrow linking the top of one box to the top of the one right next to it. I've played with the bendy arrow style but just can't get enough control to get the effect I want (i.e. a near semi-circle). I also tried making my own shape out of a lucidchart circle but it seems you can't crop those down. Any ideas? Many thanks!
Maybe something like this:
Hi
Thanks for adding to this thread!
It looks like the user that originally posted was hoping to create a symmetrical curved arrow linking the top of one shape to the top of another shape. I have included a Gif below showing what this could look like! If you select the line and make it a curved line, you can then adjust it to look like a semi-circle. You can also change the thickness and color of your line.
Additionally, if you select “More Shapes” and search for “arrow” a Standard Library will come up titled “Materials” that has a built-in semi-circle shape ready for you to use! Once you add that shape, you can adjust the color, width of the line, and the size of the shape as a whole. Please see steps below!
If you have any additional questions here, let me know and our team is happy to jump in and help!
Hi there - Thanks for reaching out! If you draw a normal angled arrow connecting the top of the two boxes and then change it to curved it should do so automatically.
If you're not crazy about the idea of using a regular angled arrow and curving it you can always import your own custom shapes into the custom shapes library. To learn how to do this take a look at the Add and customize shapes article in our Help Center.

I’ve been trying to draw curved arrows to show a repeat. I’ve used a circle to act as guidelines, but trying to manipulate the line to draw a nice quarter circle arrow is crazy difficult. Then I tried to copy the first one which looked good to then rotate it, but I also can’t find a way to rotate it, or click on it to move it without the shape changing. And it doesn’t help that it’s really difficult to align the arrow properly so it points in the right direction.
What am I doing wrong and surely there must be an easier way?
Thanks
+2Hello
Alternatively, you can add an arrow icon to your board. To do this, first click the top left Lucidchart icon and select the “Edit in Lucidspark” option.
Then, click on Images > Icons to open the Icon Library.
You can search for a curved arrow or just an arrow in the library and use it on your board. After you have found your icon, you can switch back to Lucidchart.

+1It appears that the question asked on this thread 10 years ago was not answered as the guide does not exist!
She asked how she could bend the specified arrow as illustrated not the regular thin arrow.
