Hmmm yeah it's kind of like they're a little lazy with Transform > Align. That's definitely a bug, not intentional. I'll see about squashing it thanks for reporting it!

There isn't anything set up for that currently. Do you think it should happen automatically when the text doesn't fit at the current zoom level or is it better to have an option that flips it manually and stays that way at all zoom levels?

I really wanted to do curved leaders but it was going to be difficult enough that it's punted out after v4.

Could you show an example of the stacked measurement spacing? Is that something like a property value you want to adjust later on or would it be some option in the drawing commands?


Thanks, - Michael
