Arrows size changed in Lucidchart diagram on their own

I’ve been preparing a flowchart in Lucidchart and all of my arrows were the smaller size (red). I don’t believe I changed any settings, but they are now all coming in at the larger size (blue).

I don’t truly care what size the arrows are , but I want them to be consistent. 90% are already drawn in as the smaller size but all the new ones are coming in much larger. 

How can I fix this?

Hello @Tmannise!

Thanks for reaching out. Sometimes the issue can be where someone has created a diagram, then created another diagram (with different arrow weighting) and then gone back to the original diagram with that weighting applied.

I suggest clicking on a ‘white space’ on your board and then checking this on the navigation:

Make sure it is the weight that you want (matching your original line weighting), and then continue with your diagram. By making the setting without a shape or arrow selected, you effectively set your ‘default’.

 

Hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for the response @Leo Barnes !
I had tried resetting everything to the default style, but for some reason it wouldn’t take and they kept reverting back to the larger size. I didn’t think that I could have accidentally changed the default, but I looked at the settings and I found that I must’ve toggled the auto endpoint size on in the settings.

 

Thanks for your help!
 

This was the culprit!
