[Chimera-users] arrow heads for pipes and planks

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Evan,
Probably you are looking at documentation that is newer than your version of Chimera.  The Pipes & Planks arrowheads are in Chimera 1.7 daily builds, not the 1.6 production release.  
Pipes & Planks has been improved significantly since the 1.6 release.  However, this feature is not available as a command, sorry.  

If you use the documentation in the Help menu (or from clicking the Help button on a dialog) it should be fairly well synchronized with whatever version you have downloaded.

daily build download:

"what's new in daily builds" (vs. current production release):

I hope this helps,
Elaine
