There's no real way to offset where the connector touches unfortunately other than by drawing the lines manually. I mean you could perhaps do it by using a long custom dash, but it wouldn't adjust automatically when you move the connected objects.. More trouble than it's worth, probably. This is something you would really need to ask the Inkscape developers about. They do take feature requests on the Inkscape GitLab site | |

| Apr 2 at 16:36 | comment | added | Billy Kerr | @user2518618 There's no automatic way to do this AFAIK. It will take some manual work. Another method is not to adjust the arrow heads at all using the method given above, but instead use the nodes tool to pull the connector away from the edge. This won't disconnect the connector, however if you then move the shape, the arrows will snap back to their original positions. So, you will still need to fix it manually each time, but since you are fixing it manually anyway, using the nodes tool may be easier than typing in values for custom dashes. | |
| Apr 2 at 10:41 | comment | added | user2518618 | This is a great solution, but here is a small detail if you zoom in at the point of the arrow: the line below still touches the shape and it looks like there is a little square at the point of the arrow, you can't see the sharp point of the arrow. The best workarround I found is changing the Dashes to Custom and setting a Pattern with a single number, which makes the line shorter, but you have to modify this number manually every time you move the objects. Is there a better solution for that? | |
| Jun 22, 2022 at 12:18 | comment | added | Billy Kerr | @SIMBIOSISsurl - perhaps, but this question is about arrow heads, how to move them, and how to connect arrows to objects, nothing really to do with diagram symbols. You need to pay attention to the actual question being asked. | |
