PINNED Add measuring/pick distance tool in parametric solid and variables tools
As a MicroStation modelling user, I would like the capability of filling the Distance field by picking two points (or distance between other elements) from within the tool, so that I can be much quicker in creating solids and other elements where ...

Better parametric array options

Right now it is quite limited. Arraying objects along path especially should enable: -orientation lock to vertical or custom direction (for example: railing posts along 3d curves should remain vertical) -arraying along path should enable planar ro...

Sheet Index - Sheet Reordering

The drag-and-drop function in the sheet index can be very clunky at times. Sheets have to be moved in groups of 3-5 at a time, otherwise risking the program crashing. It would be nice to see a different function added to the sheet index in the Exp...

Add ability to add "smart" scale bars to drawing annotation

The data/fields are there but it is difficult to get it into text/cell and then get a drawing model annotation to place in the correct palce. Vertical scale needs to be easier to access so that they can be added to a field/text favorite. It is the...

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...

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 ...
