We had exactly the same problems this morning and one more : drawing a dashed-line circle. After different trys, we can say :

- MacDraw II (1.1) knows dashes but don't makes dashes or arrows for anything else than lines.

- Canevas 2.0 makes arrows on arcs but not freehand lines and we have not find how to make dashes.

It's really a pitty to have to draw arrows and make dashed circles by grouping many small segments...

Does anyone knows a soft that can do this trivial things ?

Thanks.

PS : All software cited are french versions -> maybe differences in features against release number ???
