Reference Files - Clip Boundary With Key-in, Macro, or Python

Allowing a quick way to clip reference file boundaries would greatly help with drawing production. At the moment the only way to clip a reference file boundary is by manually doing it, in every file. This proves to be extremely tedious and time co...

Set LTScale based on annotation scale when translating to autocad

I'm not sure why this has never been done but seems like the translation to autocad should include an option for setting the LTScale based on the annotation scale for better deliverables to the dwg format. Maybe this needs a coefficient that you c...

Ability to edit Linestyle text after placement.

Grouping levels

I often get drawings with 200 - 500 levels which could be sorted more easily if grouped or organized hierarchically just like "files in folders". I know there are filters and creative naming that help but expanding or collapsing level groups would...
