Create cell should be more clear

I have wasted 3 hours to understand the correct steps to create a cell.
In AutoCAD is really more easy and clear. The command: Block opens a dialoog with the necessary buttons: to put the block's name, to select the entities, to pick the origin, etc...
In the case of MicroStation, it would be interesting a button called "Create cell" in the ribbon which opens a similar dialog.
Obviously, it is needed a current Cell Library to do it, so this would be also a request.

Dialog from "Create Cell" button:
1) Attach file for Cell Library.
2) Cell's name.
3) Description cell.
4) Cell type.
5) Select elements.
6) Define Cell Origin.

    For the traditional workflow:

    1. Attach cell library (or create new)

    2. Define cell origin

    3. Select elements

    4. Click "create cell"

    5. Enter Name, (optionally) description, select type and hit Enter

    Much better workflow:

    1. Open Cell Library in MicroStation (not attach)

    2. Create a new Drawing Model and give it a proper nae ( = cell name)

    3. Create content
