    View independent lock only X, Y or Z

    Hi!View independent is an amazing tool, but! It would be even more amazing to be able to lock the independecy to either X, Y or Z.For example:I would like to put trees that look the same from all angles but that are only a 2D representation of tha...

    Parametric Solids Quantification Fix

    Mstn was pioneering in providing solid modeling to the AEC market. But the Parasolids kernel has its origins in the MCAD world. Reporting volumes and areas is great, but in the AEC world, we need to be able to able to break things down further. Fo...

    Parametric association for arraying along a path

    It would be cool to have a tool that would allow us to array along a path (smartline, bspline, etc.) and then update as we change the path. For instance, I can extrude a profile along a path and then modify that path and not have to rerun the extr...

    Constraints: Property Panel - Host 2d Solving Plane

    The 2d Constraints tools are based on solving on a plane (2d). It would be good to expose and report this 'host' plane in the Properties Panel (Ctrl-I).If there are multiple solving planes in the model (very likely) they should be numbered and re-...

    Constraints: Option to manually include 'construction' geometry into the cell or constraints group

    Transfered from the EAP Ideas list.With Feature Solids, profile geometry used for protrusions, subtractions etc are stored with the FS element / Cells. They can be displayed on screen when there is a need to re-visit and edit the profiles. This is...

    Constraints: Drop / Ungroup Cell with Constraints

    When a Cell is dropped or an Orphan Cell (Ctrl-G) is dropped, the Constraints go missing.This makes it difficult to store and re-use design intent.The Cell creation / grouping process should honour and retain the element's Constraints.

    Constraints: Associative Copy Parallel

    Transfered from EAP Ideas listIt be very good to be able associatively link an element in the active model to an element in a Ref attachment.... using the Copy Parallel tool.I understand that CVE elements retain a link back to their original eleme...

    Add "No Stitch" option to Bridge Mesh & Merge Edge tools

    I would prefer the stitching aspect of these tools be optional.I often just want to close a gap between two meshes without actually stitching them together.

    Add ability to toggle the Annotation Scale of Nested Reference.

    Currently we cannot toggle the annotation scale of nested reference using the "Use Active Annotation Scale " option from refences dialog box. This option is greyed out for the nested references and we can only control the annotation scale of direc...
