Exactly.

Back when I used ClarisCAD and needed a curved line with an arrow (for dimensioning angles, etc.) I would put a very very short headed line at the end of the arc.

I don't know how hard it is to come up with a dimension tool that can break the line but not obscure the heads, but it would be nice to have.

Maybe more important is to really make the text boxes smarter. I know its a supremely difficult issue and ES has put a lot of work into the text support, but I think it could be a lot more responsive and predictable. What I see a lot of is the bounding box stretching out beyond the text to different degrees when viewed at different scales, and changing when rotated.
