When using ARCARROW from the Toolbox, clicking the first point creates an automatic or immediate arrow to the last point clicked. This arrow can be deleted and then the tool can be used as normal. Does anyone know how to remedy this problem?

No. The macro seems to remember the last two points entered, the arrow location and the arc curve snap point (3 pt. arc). The macro also crashes DataCAD when selecting a different curve type in the menu.

Needs to be fixed.

Hello:

There is another macro that seems to work okay: CURVLDR5.DCX

Curved Leader v2.8 Command Performance Copyright 1991-94 D/PA

...is what it says on the info line when you are in the macro. It does 3-point arcs and B-Spline arrows, with the options to start with the arrow head, and to add text while in the macro.

I have no idea if this macro is still available; but I would check in Cheap Tricks.
