Make arrows easier to use.
make the arrow easier to use, no need to choose which way the arrow makes a curve.
It would be nice, if I wouldn't have to change the arrow form, I would like to just select a start and an end point, I don't want to think about, which way the arrow goes.

Inappropriate?Hi Roland, you're right that it could be more intuitive. I just wanted them to fit with the same user model as the other controls...I might revisit how arrows work when we add a free-form drawing tool. Thanks for the feedback!

Inappropriate?Thx for your anwer and for thinking about it.
I would consider this a case, where consistency hurts the ease of use.
I’m happy

This is one of the best points

I agree with you, but the other option is to "enter drawing mode", which is a whole new concept...so I had to make a trade-off. Don't forget that Mockups is only 10 months old! :) -
Inappropriate?I'm looking forward to freeform drawing! My basic need is for more flexible arrows... things that I can curve around other parts of the mockup, or just straight ones. I like the color, transparency, and arrow ends, and the sketchy visual style.
It'd be nice if some arrows were considered "annotation layer" while others were part of the mockup... maybe just a checkbox in the properties.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I was going to post this to another thread, but I thought the title of this thread was more positive, so I accentuate the positive...
#4: an arrow other than a simple spline curve.
What about a compound spline curve? Sometimes if what I want to point to is in the center of a mockup, the arrow steps obtrusively on top of other elements. A snakey curve would better allow me to navigate around other elements
#3: Dead straight arrow:
From my perspective, the "straight" arrow would look out of place with the, intentionally, crude arrow head. "almost straight" works for me. But, then again, why force my design sense on others?
I’m thankful it's evolving
