Add thickness to both sides of arcs and ellipses
I've been building our companies Custom Bluebeam Tool Sets by tracing our Legend Sheets for P&IDs and PFDs. I've come across an issue that makes the individual groups look really bad.
Arcs and ellipses, when you add line thickness to them, they only add the thickness to the inner part of the arc. Not both sides of the arc (outside and inside).
Lines, polylines, polygons on the other hand add thickness to both sides of the line, polyline, polygon.
When an arc or ellipse needs to be added to a line, polyline or polygon (especially when using snaps to mark-ups), it looks really bad.
This gets even worse when you need to snap arcs to arcs when they are drawn the opposite direction (draw opposing arcs with 0.000125 line thickness, snap them end to end, then add 1.00 line thickness - two images attached showing this issue).
Please, please, please make the line thickness of arcs and ellipses act the same as they do for lines, polylines and polygons so that these Custom Tool Sets can function properly and look right too.

this may or may not help you, but if you use the poly-line tool, you can right click on the poly-line and "convert to arc." doing this allows you to generally draw where you want your arc to be, then convert and manipulate it to be the arc trajectory that youre looking for. or something close to it
