The level display dialog has columns for colour, weight and style. Could we have a column that shows these combined? i.e. what the line would look like. That would give good visual feedback for the user, rather than having to read the level names...

We're familiar with smart text such as $FILE$ and $DATE$ that is replaced during plotting or printing. The actual file name or date is substituted for the smart text by the plotting software. Item Types offer the possibility to have a generally-av...

Auto Update Parametric Cells has been introduced in Mstn 17. Great news! It would be good to provide a highlighting tool that 'flashes' the out of date Cells on screen. Red for 'Ask' Amber for 'Always'. Blue for 'Never'. The tool would also scan R...
