Feature req: add-your-own endpoint text border shapes...
« on: February 18, 2012, 04:27 PM »
Am referring to where the blue "But mostly here" arrow is pointing.
Is it possible to have an "add your own" in the same way that you do for clipart and frames?

I'd like to use a "Tag" shape like the yellow one. 
The ability to shape/bend lines would also be cool ...

+1 from me for that feature requirement.
In terms of priority:
  • "Mandatory"
  • "Highly desirable"
  • "Nice-to-have" <--I'd place it here.

Well, I meant "request," but we can go with "requirement!"   ;)

Another related thought:  Have it so that, when creating an arrow, as soon as you release the mouse button the "Endpoint text" box is activated (and any text therein is selected), so that you can just start typing.  If nothing is typed, then no text box appears.

Also, FWIW, I'd consider bendable bezier lines to be lower priority.  And frankly it might be rather difficult to make the text boxes customizationable--from a coding perspective.  As such, it might not be worth Mouser's effort.
