Geometry Connector: Add column for degree of curve for an arc

Please Add column for degree of curve for an arc. The Geometry Connector should show the Degre e of Curve for an Arc, and not just Radius. It is annoying to have to use Excel or a calculator to go back and forth when you need a curve to be a certa...

Add ability to draw Ahead/Back Tangent line for full length from PC to PI and from PT to PI

Currently in annotation group, the back/ahead tangent line drawn at the PI only has the option for a fixed length. We would like the ability to draw back and ahead tangents the full length from PC to PI to PC. This could apply to both horizontal a...
