Thanks for the observations below, I hadn't spotted one of those bugs.

For those that requested it, I have thrown together a quick demo video here:

The bug with the circle looks odd, perhaps related to the use of a 'Z'
to close the path, I'll take a look at this.

I could hide some of the extra buttons in a new sub-menu next to the
"Make segments arcs" button (like the "Insert node" sub-menu in the same
toolbar).
That might help keep things tidy.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
