Note that when drawing a long section the vertical marking should be set as "Polyline" in Drawing options.

In Auto mode you can window select multiple / all sections and the descenders will be cranked where ever necessary, in Manual mode you pick the descenders individually and point for a new location for the individual descender. There are four combinations of how the vertical marker line can "crank". Esc to quit.
