Add additional grips to dimensions to allow for quick adjustment

I suggest adding additional grips to make modifying dimensions easier. Currently, you have to select the Modify Element command to adjust the dimensions. I suggest adding two grips to eliminate this step. There is one at the midpoint of the dimens...

Scale cell around placement point

Placement points have been added to cell placement (nice), but when scaling the cells there is only 'about origin'. I'd like to see the placement points added as an option to scale around.

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...

Better display of broken association

When using "Associative" on placing (linear) dimensions, they often 'break'. Resulting in some thick dashed line to show the user that the dimension is no longer associated with the geometry. However it's not clear where the association is broken....

This app was used in v8i to provide finishing/welding symbols, etc. for drawings in Microstation. These symbols are in Prostructures within OBM CONNECT, but they are needed in Microstation and ORD as well.

Manipulate Fence Conmtents: Stretch. Please show it to me.

The stretch fence command should display the fence content dynamically as the fence is being dragged around. Just as it does with the other Manipulate Fence commands. In V8i it only shows the fence itself being moved, not its content. Manipulated ...

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...

Include a View attribute toggle to turn reference display on or off

It would be very handy to be able to turn display of all references in a drawing on or off with a view attribute toggle in order to quickly view live info without reference clutter. Turning multiple references on or off using the reference dialogu...

Select by attributes - add "within highlighted area only" option (i.e. fence)

I know there's the option in the element selection to only search for certain levels etc. but I only get it to work by selecting a bunch of elements and then switching everything off in the various tabs that I don't want to be selected.It would wa...
