I posted this wish in comments back in 2022 and 2023. Am I the only one that wants a nice elegant curved arrow option for the connectors? 🙂 It makes diagrams look so much friendlier and aesthetically pleasing, instead of orthogonal curves, straight lines or angled straight lines. Thanks all! Ben

Hey @Ben_Kopf, thanks for following up on your previous feedback!

I re-opened one of your previous feedback requests mentioning this feature here for more visibility from the community: List of feature requests: curved arrows, frame support, playback history

We’ll pass these onto our FigJam team for future consideration!

What I really want is the nice curved flow arrows that are available in FigJam to be readily available in a regular Figma file. I spend a lot of time copying and pasting arrows from FigJam into Figma. I see that they work in Figma, but you can’t create them there. I really don’t want to have to mess with a plugin for this.

You can add Bezier points to an arrow in Figma.

 

  1. Add an arrow (Shift + L)
  2. Drag to your desired endpoints
  3. Double click the arrow to bring up extra options (see bottom toolbar)
  4. Select the Bend option (or hold Cmd)
  5. Adjust the bezier curve points!
