Default Connector line End Point Setting

B

My connectors had been ending with a desired default arrowhead endpoint.
Recently it suddenly switched to "no end" - not sure how/why. Now I have to
specifically change each connector line to have the desired arrowhead end
point.

When I try to use Format/Line/Ends - its seems available only on a specific
selected line. Now I have to specifically change each connector line to have
the desired arrowhead end point.

How do I set a default so the connector ends with an arrowhead as a general
default for every line connection? Thanks.

After you have used the Connector Tool for the first time, a Dynamic
Connector master is created in the local/document stencil.
If you edit this master, and format the lineas required, then your existing
connector lines (at least the ones that you haven't already changed) will be
changed too, as will any new lines that you draw.

David, sounds good but not sure how to edit the master your way so that the
change becomes the new default until I want to change in future vs. another
tip I had gotten on the same question which still does not change the
default.

the other tip went as follows:
"I cannot find a default setting for this, but this solution may help you
if it is a connector:
1. Create your connector and format it as desired, line end etc.
2. Drag it to your stencil, rename shape and save stencil.
3. Select the connector tool on toolbar or Ctrl + 2.
4. Click on the connector in the stencil.
From this point all connectors will have the same formatting as the stencil
connector until you perform some other selection or operation.
Each time you want a connector with the same line end follow steps 3 and 4."

If your solution actually changes the default, can you tell me your steps
for editing the master?

thanks for your help.
