Feature req: Add option to use the Apple Arrow tool

First off, a little butt-kissing - I’ve been an avid user of Acorn for years and years; I think since v3 or 4 possibly? I’ve ditched Photoshop for Acorn and never looked back - but there is one thing I really need (and I believe I’ve mentioned it before) - bezier arrows, like in the Apple Preview tool.

I do a lot of prototyping before building in css, and the arrow tool supplied just is not good for business designs, especially when I have to show the flow of individual elements - straight, solid fat lines with small heads just doesn’t look professional. I end up exporting to PNGs and then either using Preview to do the arrows and texts or Sketch (depending on the design - zooming is easier in Sketch).

I’d really love an option to use a bezier arrow tool like the one in Apple’s Preview app, just to bend them around the page and be able change the line colors, styles, arrowheads/tails and line widths as needed. I’d love to keep it all in Acorn instead of swapping around.

Help me, Obi-Wan - you’re my only hope.

That’s a reasonable request, and something that is asked for now and again. I’ll see what I can do in a future release. (No promises, since it’s not a high priority - but it would be cool to have).
