I have drawn some custom arrows (don't like the standard ones) and these are
fine at a 1:1 size. However......If I wish to lengthen the arrow the entire
object streaches. The std Vsio arrows maintain the arrowhead segment and just
lengthen the 'shaft'.

I have tried to unravel how this works via the Shape Sheet and it looks like
is linked to the Shape Transformation and 1-D enpoints. However, I cannot
seem to get the same sections to display for my home build arrows e.g. 1-D
endpoints!

I know I could do this by splittng the head from the shaft of the arrow -
but that's giving up isn't it?

Can anybody give me a steer on this?
