Hi
I want to draw a curved line with an arrowhead at one end to indicate the rotation of a disc. How do I do that please?
How do I draw a curved line with an arrowhead at one end?

Thanks Andrew. I think I may have found an alternative. Unicode characters 27F2 and 27F3 do the job for me (indicate clock/anticlock wise movement)andrew wrote:Curves (splines) cannot have an arrow at the end in QCAD. Please draw a short leader (see Dimension - Leader) at the end. Leaders can be so short that the leader itself is not visible, only the arrow.
I can get the text edit box up in QCad, I can select the characters from Arrows Supplementary 1 and see them in the text editor. However they will not show on the drawing when I select the position. Where am I going wrong in this final step please?
I can get normal text to appear ok.
QCAD fonts only define a small subset of the 100000+ Unicode characters.
You can extend fonts as described here:

This will of course break compatibility of your drawings with other QCAD users. For arrows, using leaders would probably be the preferred way.
