    Default X11 Vector Tool Improvement; Arrowheads

    I resubmit a very long-standing request.

    Ability to specify whether or not the tip of arrowheads terminate at the end of a segment or the base of the arrowhead terminates at the end of a segment (which is the current/legacy method).

    The current method can make drawing technical illustrations/diagrams/flow charts very tedious.

    Wouldn't it be nice if you could soft group arrows to a Shape, move the Shape and the arrowed line follow - a bit MS Visio but would be magical.

    @Acorn...that should be a separate request as they are different ones.

    That said, I agree a connector tool such as in DrawPlus (and PagePlus, and...) would be handy.

    Accepted, but with the point of the arrow aligned with the Shape, changing its width and position directly leads to my point.

    I am pretty sure that Xara already has a list of features that can technically be implemented, and that they choose a number of them for each new version. If they could post (part of) such a list, perhaps we could influence the order in which features are implemented in the future.
