What's Spline in Leader properties?

Post by r0berts » Tue Mar 26, 2024 4:02 pm

A newcomer. Apologies, what is the meaning of spline under leader properties. I understand that one cannot make arrows on spline curves, but this property appears to suggest otherwise? In any case my aim is to draw a diagram where I would have some curved lines with arrows at the end. Thanks!

Spline leaders are not supported at this point in QCAD.

I can confirm that this property currently has no function and is not stored when set.

P.S.: Please attach images to your post rather than hosting them on other sites where they will be eventually deleted.

r0berts:

Work around:
- Draw your spline.
- Draw a Leader with arrow somewhere. (Or a dimension for that matter)
- Explode the Leader and 'steal' the arrow deleting the rest ... :lol:
