Freehand drawing on the map

Is BF engine able to give squad leaders and commanders a handle to draw on the map (freehand: some pencil or brush)? Say, CO draws and only squad leaders see the drawing and SL drawing visible to SMembers only?
Maybe during the start time only for better planning?

Nope, unfortunately not. Would be a nice feature though.
But I'm afraid it has been suggested before. Search would get you very far, I recon. Other wise, do what I did with Google:

Well, on second thought, looking for freehand drawing is too much of course.. What I've been thinking was something like WAYPOINTs system. In these huge PR maps (which is perfect) SL should be able not only to say "attack there" but to be more specific and to say "follow my waypoints and attack there".
This is important. Sometimes, as a SM you receive such order to attack on the other side of the map and the way you go there is really important.
I just saw this thread:

which overlaps what I said above. Sirry if I break the rules

As much as I think your Squad Leader should tell you how to move and all, I kind of like the idea. Just I think this isn't possible. Placing "images" (like markers for enemy rally points and such) is possible, but drawing lines...... don't think so.
Edit: as seen in the thread you linked to, that's locked. In that thread, there's a link to another thread, in which people said it wasn't possible. And suggested before

No problem, going to put a lock on this though, due to it being hard-coded.
