Ampler makes the angles (and rounding) of chevrons, arrows and rounded rectangles match, so a value chain or process flow has consistent geometry from shape to shape.
Quick answer: Select the value-chain shapes, arrows, or rounded rectangles, then click Same angles on the Ampler ribbon to equalise their angles.
How to use it
Select the chevrons or arrows, then Same angles to match their geometry.
- Hold Shift and left-click to select a value chain, rounded rectangles, or arrows.
- Click Same angles to equalise the shapes’ angles.
The selected shapes take on matching angles (and rounding), so a chevron chain or arrow set reads as one consistent element.
Keyboard shortcut
Same angles has no default shortcut. To assign one, open the Settings dropdown on the Ampler ribbon, choose Shortcuts, click Set shortcut on the function, and press your key combination.
Why use it
Chevrons in a value chain, or a set of process arrows, look wrong the moment their angles differ — and matching them by dragging yellow adjustment handles is almost impossible to get exact. Same angles equalises the geometry across the selection in one click, so the chain looks purpose-built.
How consultants use it
The value chain and the process flow are staple consulting exhibits, built from chevrons and arrows that must be geometrically identical. Inconsistent angles are an immediate tell. Three conventions apply:
- Consistent chevron and arrow geometry: every shape in the chain shares the same angle.
- Uniform angles across a value chain: the flow reads as a single, deliberate element.
- Polished process visuals: matched geometry is what separates a clean flow from a rough one.
Same angles makes a chevron or arrow set geometrically consistent in one step.
Tips & best practices
- Use it on chevron value chains and process-arrow sequences where angles must match.
- Combine with Equalise width and height so the shapes match in size as well as angle.
- Apply a saved style afterwards to keep the fills and outlines consistent too.

Frequently asked questions
How do you make chevron angles match in PowerPoint?
Select the chevrons and click Same angles on the Ampler ribbon. Ampler equalises their angles so the value chain has consistent geometry.
How do you make process arrows consistent?
Select the arrows and use Ampler’s Same angles — it matches their angles (and rounding) so the set looks purpose-built.
Can you equalise the rounding on rounded rectangles?
Yes. Same angles matches the angles and rounding across selected rounded rectangles, chevrons, or arrows.
