I don't know if anyone else has used them much, but the tool for drawing little shapes -- arrows, small polygons, and such is quite nice.
Having used it quite a bit for arrows, it seemed that it would be better to just have them at a default/settable size, and simply click the placement with the mouse. There doesn't seem to be any great advantage in "drawing" them (click-drag), since they aren't placed with great precision or size, and especially since you can't see the shape itself as you're dragging. I found myself uniformly tweaking the size and position settings in the Properties tool anyway. Also, since they were frequently placed on top of another item, I tended to click-drag off to the side of where I actually wanted them to be for fear of messing position/dimensions of what was underneath. Am I making sense with this? The other thing I was wondering is if there are plans to be able to create or import custom shapes to use with this tool. What are these, SVGs? Having a custom arrow with a bent stem would have really helped me. Gregory Pittman
