: How to make scaled arrows for flowcharts? I am not sure if this is a right place to ask my question. I need to make multiple flow charts with scaled arrows. For instance, (refer figure)

In Corel-draw you can use set values by arithmetic operations. In outline menu (F12), you can set the width of any line with respect to other. For example, if line 1 width is 2 points, and you want to set line 2 width 2.5 time line 1 width, you can simply set line 2 width by putting (2*2.5) which turns out to be 5 points.

Illustrator can adjust stroke and arrowheads of Lines.

Draw your lines with the line tool or the pen tool. Edit the stroke individually, or if there is a group of lines that need the same thickness then group them together and they can be worked on as one.

With your line selected open the stroke window. The arrowhead options are visible. The arrowheads in your example above look like option #7 Set your arrowhead at the correct end of the line. Adjust size with the scale tool here, or with the stroke thickness setting.

Clarification: set line thickness and arrowhead size with the stroke weight. If the thickness is right but the arrowhead is the wrong size the adjust it with the arrowhead scale tool.

Once your arrows are set and grouped you can scale them with "scale strokes and effects" and their look will stay the same. Likewise with your arrow settings in memory you can draw new lines and they will be like your arrows.
