Length of arrows

[CDL]

Hello
-It would be very useful to add the property "Length" when we draw an arrow.
(Remark: When I draw an arrow, I don't understand the property "Courbe / Curve" ?)
- When we use the shortcut "MR" (without using the dialog box), it would be useful if we can check the option "Copy"
Thanks.

Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum.

-It would be very useful to add the property "Length" when we draw an arrow.

The arrow size of a new Leader entity is by the overall Drawing Preference for Dimension arrows and Scale factor.

(Remark: When I draw an arrow, I don't understand the property "Courbe / Curve" ?)

The property is "Spline" in English. Yes or No doesn't seem to make a difference.
Probably for supporting not QCAD native drawings that use a Spline instead of a Polyline.
In QCAD one can only specify a Polyline with straight segments.

- When we use the shortcut "MR" (without using the dialog box), it would be useful if we can check the option "Copy"

A solution would then be to move/rotate a duplicate.
Select the entity(ies), DP & MR with almost the same effort.

Regards,
CVH

Thank you for your suggestions.

The length property has been added for leader entities for the next release:

- When we use the shortcut "MR" (without using the dialog box), it would be useful if we can check the option "Copy"

This has also been fixed for the next release. All tool options will be shown in the options toolbar for this tool when not using a dialog.
