# Dots for abbreviating multiple arrows in quiver with tikz-cd

I'd like to ask how to draw dots for abbreviating multiple arrows in quiver with tikz-cd. The following code is what I've tried to write so-called n-Kronecker quiver — the quiver with two vertices and n arrows from one to the other. The \vdots part doesn't work as I naively expected. Is it possible to draw vertical dots between the arrows α1 and α2?

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzcd}
1 \arrow[r, bend left, "\alpha_1"] \vdots \arrow[r, bend right, swap, "\alpha_n"] & 2
\end{tikzcd}
\end{document}


• Something like \rar[draw=none,"\vdots"description] will do. But you need to rescale the diagram properly. – Symbol 1 Jul 26 '17 at 20:53
• @Symbol1 Thank you for your comment. It's getting closer to what I wanted. There is still some problems because the dots are slightly below the center and a small part of the above arrow disappears somehow. Is this a mere matter of scaling? – Orat Jul 26 '17 at 21:18
• Well you can image that \vdots is too high so its background covers the upper arrow. Try combining \raisebox and \smash or so. – Symbol 1 Jul 26 '17 at 21:22

Thanks to Symbol 1, I am now able to get the following desired result.

Here is the code for this.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzcd}
1
\arrow[r, draw=none, "\raisebox{+1.5ex}{\vdots}" description]
\arrow[r, bend left,        "\alpha_1"]
\arrow[r, bend right, swap, "\alpha_n"]
&
2
\end{tikzcd}
\end{document}
