Stroke cap — Big circle

Migrating over to Figma. Literally found a limit within 2 minutes.

In Figma, you can’t end a line with an arrowhead on one end, and a circle or dot on the other.
Illustrator has been able to do it for 25+ years. Sketch can do it. Even PowerPoint can do it.

But Figma can’t?

On the Figma dropdown menu, it mixes up caps with ends. Round and Square are caps. Line Arrow and Triangle Arrow are ends (or tips). Nothing else can be done except arrowheads.

I make a lot of wireflows, so this seemingly small thing is actually a big annoyance for me.

Has anyone else noticed this?

    Older post, but definitely a GLARING miss on the part of Figma.

    Figjam has an endpoint menu on every line. Figma doesn’t?

    I just spent 10 minutes searching for it. 

    I guess you could build your own using auto layout, but why?

    Endpoint menu for lines +1
    Separate control of endpoint size (independent of stroke) +1
    Ability to design your own endpoint (basically make the dot/diamond a user controllable polygon) +1

    This is the menu from fig jam:
