Following is the shape that I am trying to achieve in Microsoft Office Powerpoint.
Now, I can draw it using two separate shapes. Problem is: whenever I have to adjust the line I need to change both shapes (one straight line and a line with an arrow in one end). This is troublesome when there are more shapes like this.
Is there any way so that line will maintain a break-point and adjustment won't require a lengthy process? Or is there any better tool to draw engineering methodologies such as networking architecture, work-process of a model, etc.

This got me there (on powerpoint 2019):
- Insert > Shape > Choose the line that has an arrow at one end, with two kinks in it
- When the shape appears, there should be a nodule in the middle of the line Drag it to whichever side you wish
Edit: there are also bigger "block arrows" farther down the list but they're a bit cartoonish and blocky
1Use the polygon tool to draw your shape (one single polygon, rather than two different shapes). You can then give one end of the polygon an arrowhead, just as with lines.
