    Does anyone know of an addon or extension to Illustrator so I can add custom stoke caps easier?

    The only way of doing it I can find is by either creating a custom brush, or editing the Arrowheads.ai file.

    Both are quite difficult for something quite easy, so just wondered if anyone else had any ideas.

    Many Thanks

    Use a pattern brush. Drag your stroke to the brushes palette to create a new patternbrush, then you can option/alt drag your arrowhead/end-cap/whatever into the little empty boxes at the end of the brush palette... You can adjust positioning with a bounding box around your arrowhead.

    • Thanks for your help! I'll try this out.Hue
