Generally, I like to draw all lines without dash points, and then set the few dash points needed manually afterwards.  However, OOM seem to switch on dash points mode ALLWAYS(?) whenever I select the curve tool in the right-click menu.  It is quite annoying.\r\n\r\nHowever, I believe it is possible to have a setting where dash points are added automatically.  It should work in the following way:\r\n\r\n- all curves are drawn without dash points.\r\n- upon finishing a path, dash points are added automatically at points of extremal curvature, such as path bends, spur or reentrant tips and so forth.  This is to prevent dash gaps at the these points.\r\n- Whenever the user starts or ends another path on an existing path, or the user shift-clicks on the path while drawing a path across it, dash points are automatically added at the junction points.\r\n\r\nI don't think this is too difficult to implement, and it would improve the drawing experience a great deal.\r\n\r\nAgnar"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/OpenOrienteering/mapper/issues/comments/170457696","html_url":"https://github.com/OpenOrienteering/mapper/issues/582#issuecomment-170457696","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/OpenOrienteering/mapper/issues/582","id":170457696,"user":{"login":"arenol","id":6442462,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6442462?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol","html_url":"https://github.com/arenol","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arenol/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-11T07:53:46Z","updated_at":"2016-01-11T07:53:46Z","body":"Dear Kai,\n\nI'm referring to the dash points a long any line (I call lines 'paths' \nfrom Adobe Illustrator); those that are marked with a diamond when you \nselect a feature.  Automatic dash point generation would be very useful \nwhen drawing foot paths, form lines and other dashed features.\n\nI think there's a bug in OOM.  For the time beeing, whenever I select \nthe \"S\" in the right click menu, I allways get dash point mode, meaning \nthat every point I add becomes a dash point.  It wasn't like that \nbefore, and I don't understand why (I've submitted another ticket for \nthis).\n\nBtw.  I experienced a few crashes with 0.57, but 0.6 seems to be stable, \nalthough I haven't tested it for a long time.\n\nKind Regards,\nAgnar\n\nOn 09.01.2016 21:13, Kai Pastor wrote:\n>\n> The term \"dash point\" is little bit overloaded.
