Add Your Own Style to Custom Markers Step 1 Also, I have to do this with all three drop-down menus every time I add another marker.Ģ. I always end up having to expand the drop-down menu, close it, then open it up again to get it to refresh and display my custom marker as an option. For me, it never shows up the first time.

Now is the time to go over to Fill and Stroke and open up the marker drop-down menu for your custom marker. You'll notice that your object will then disappear. Below, I'm going to turn a star into a marker by selecting it and heading up to Object > Objects to Marker. Inkscape comes with a bunch of prepacked shapes, but Objects to Marker allows you to use any custom object as a marker. You simply select Start, Mid, and End Markers - which are graphics applied on nodes. Well, if you've ever worked with markers in Fill and Stroke's Stroke style options, then this will look familiar to you. It's a really neat way to use custom designs if the prepacked ones just don't cut it. In this Inkscape quick tip, we're going to go over a neat object menu option called Objects to Marker.
