Smart Arrow - Text on an Arrow

Dear Xara...

Text Inside does very little inside an arrow. Simply rotating the arrow position invariably ejects the text.
I have got text down to 0.5pt though.

As Smart Arrows are now a line joining two shapes (head, tail), can we not get Add Text to Curve to function?

Acorn

P.S. As you now have code to join two shapes with a line, can this be extended to joining any shapes by dynamic connectors?

It sure would be nice to have the Add Text to Curve function with the Smart Arrows!

We are planning arrow with text smartshapes, it's in the works but I don't know when it will be ready unfortunately.

Thanks
Rob

Rob, thank you for advising it is being considered.

It's a bit convoluted, but if you're a PGD v11 user you can add text to a SmartShape arrow by doing the following. That is if you can read it! - the TG forum reduces everything I attach to fuzzy 50k jpg:

Thank you for this Jono.

The problem is there is no Open SmartShape command for the new arrows that are composed of two blobs with a line between and I don't think this has been possible since v12 anyhow.
