SmartShapes

[feklee]

With all the ranting about the new version lacking features for drawing, I think the SmartShapes feature is way underestimated. I just tried out SmartShapes arrows, and they are very pleasant to edit. One can actually move the tip of the arrow, as opposed to the end of the line on which the arrow head sits. If in the future it's possible to define custom SmartShapes, that could be a very powerful feature.

I was told by a contact at Xara that the new Smart Shapes such as the arrows, ellipses, etc., were some experiments in new vector drawing features. So I would expect to see more of this in the next release.
