Beginners' Questions Why are there arrows around my circle?

    I have never come across this. I created a circle as Ive done a million times, I went to change my opacity and my mouse acted up a little bit and I think I may have clicked something inadvertently.

    I look back at my circle and see I now have arrows around it...what did I accidentally click on to create this? I have never seen this before!

    Thank you!!!

    It looks like you might have applied middle Markers.  Were you in Fill and Stroke > Stroke Style tab, or at least have it open at the time?

    Try going there, and reset for no markers.  Or just delete that object and draw a new circle.

    I appreciate your reply! I could have very well clicked something in the stroke menu. Everything is fine now, Im just curious as to why it happened. Ive never seen this before and figured it may be handy someday. It would be good to know how to do it "intentionally!"

    Ill check out the stroke menu and see what i can find!

    Thank you!

    It's on the Stroke Style tab, not the Stroke Paint tab.  Just fyi  🙂

    Oh, no worries!  I especially often have occasions where something gets clicked by accident.

    Markers can be a fun little feature to play with!
