Hi. Happy new user, I cannot switch between line types with the pen as shown on the last demo of the page in the [Knowledge base](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004496174-How-to-create-an-arc).

Is there a setting to change? I have the last version 3.0.5 of today.

Since we have vastly improved arc/line recognition, we experimentally disabled that functionality with the latest release.
