Feature request: make loop polarity direction indicator vector graphics

Post by kleemax »

The loop polarity direction indicator image is pixel graphics. When the rest of the model can be exported as vector graphic, the pixel graphic looks strange. Furthermore, If I am not mistaken, earlier Vensim Versions did have vector versions of the loop polarity direction indicator. It would be really cool if you could change this to vector graphics.

What version of Vensim are you using? And new or old GUI?

Can you upload a sample model, as they should be vector graphics (they have been for some time).

Problem solved: there is another way to set the loop polarity indicator in the new gui it's under "shape". I had not expected to find it there and had hence only found the pixelish alternative under images...
I have found this by going back to old gui, seeing nothing, then setting them the way I was used to and saw the vector graphics ones and then switched to new gui to find where the correct setting is.

The old GUI is no longer supported. The new GUI already does quite a lot more than the old (such as vector graphics).

You can also find a SVG of the image you want, save it to the model folder and use that as an image.
