Default arrow setting. It is also a combo button: further arrow types can be selected from a sub-menu, after clicking on the black triangle in the lower-right corner of the button.

It is also a Smart (multifunctional) tool:

  1. Draws graphical arrows.

  2. Draws reaction operators (e.g. + sign and arrow).

  3. Maps the atoms in the reaction.

    Select the smart Reaction tool from the Tools toolbar, then press the left mouse button on the atom you would like to map, and drag to the other atom, which receives the same map number. (Golden brown feedback helps the process.) After releasing the mouse button, the atom map number appears on the lower-right corner of the selected atoms.
