Drawing a symmetrical curved arrow

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 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.
