That's  all good stuff to think about.  I like my solution because in my 
drawings I have many lines drawn before I know that I need the dot, so it'
s hard to guess ahead of time where the dot may go.  But I can also see 
times that having the dot on a line already might be useful.

One of the reasons I've been posting about the dot issue is my way of 
testing both you guys as the developers and the user community to see how 
responsive you all are.  So now I can report that you all get a big "A" 
grade.  I've had too many experiences with the bigger companies not being 
at all responsive and acting as if they were the greatest thing since 
sliced bread, even thought they had so many bugs.  So in the next day or 
two I'll definitely get out my wallet and register, so I can actually 
create a whole drawing and build up some pallettes.

Thanks again!
