4 years ago Actually the current behaviour would be useful when drawing a depression/slope with a new customised symbol of 101 Contour line + dash symbol of slope marker (which doesn't exist in standard symbol sets) where you mostly draw non-dash nodes, but occasionally toggle dash mode and insert a slope marker. But I'm not sure if anyone uses this method.

Steps to reproduce
A) Import a powerline from .osm file. B) Or draw a powerline by hand with non-dash mode (e.g. pressed spacebar accidentally or changed my mind later).
Actual behaviour
Powerline has no pylons (dash symbols) because all nodes are normal (non-dash) nodes and can't be converted to dash nodes (with pylons showing).
Expected behaviour
A) Dash symbol should always appear on every node - normal or dash node (unless "Suppress dash symbol at start and end" is checked) because powerlines can't change direction without a pylon and I don't know any no other standard orienteering symbols that use dash symbols (all others use mid symbols only).* B) Assign dash node to every imported node of powerlines. C) Future Idea: an option to easily convert all selected nodes to dash nodes or reverse.
