On most of my plans, I draw a lot of lines, not only for shapes, roads and cable, but also as links between notes and the subject of said note, and other sundry things.

I love being able to draw dashed lines, but I find it very frustrating that I have to set up the format EVERY time. Could we have a setting to take care of that, please?

Also, could we please have the ability to change the size of the arrowhead on a pointed line. On a couple of my recent efforts, the arrow went back past the line origin! Even if we could only choose Small, Medium or Large, it would be an improvement.

Nick, if you select the end of the line, you can select which type of arrowhead, and separately enter the size of the arrowhead (1 to 10) in the toolbar.  If the whole line is selected, you can select dashed.

Well, there you go! I hadn't even seen that! In my defence, I've only recently started to use arrows, annotating my current plan. Hopefully, sometime in the not-too-distant future, I'll actually be able to start building it! For the last ten to fifteen years, every time I've been ready to start building, something has prevented it, including near-death car accidents (2), and house moves (4).

Thanks!
