Nope, not bezier curves (it's a feature that has been requested so hopefully it will appear at some point). The closest you can get to gaining control is to ram a curved line full of additional points and then adjust their individual locations along the line to get its shape as close to that desired as you can, e.g.:

OK, thanks.
Is there a program that can draw Bezier curves and export PDFs without the background? iDraw can't do the later unfortunately.

Version 3 does not have a bezeir curve tool. We do plan on supporting some kind of curvy tool in future release though. In the mean time you can either use the line tool in curvy mode or draw your curvy shapes in a different vector program and copy and past them into Graffle.

Can you tell if this will be in a version 3 license release or if I better wait buying.

I tried copying from iDraw, but that just pastes a TIFF. Which app could I use to copy a vector curve to OmniGraffle?
