"Recent Tools" Tab to stay active

Please keep the last used tab of the AccuDraw popup window on top--especially when it comes to the "recent tab"


The new "Recent" tab in the AccuDraw pop-up box is something that I am semi-excited about. Unfortunately, there is no way to keep the "Recent" tab on top. The reason that the "Recent" tab is exciting to me is because it gives me immediate access to my recently used tools. I often times will use the same set of tools multiple times while I'm working on a part of my drawing. The problem with the Popup not staying on the recent tab is that these tools are no longer immediately available, and reduces the potential benefit of this tool by at least 75%.

If the recent tab stays on top when you select it, then use a recent tool you:

1) Hit [Space]

2) Look to find the icon

3) Click the icon.

If the Popup reverts to the Popups tab, then to use a recent tool you:

1) Hit [Space]

2) Look to find the icon/tab

3) Click on the "Recent" tab

4) Look to find the icon

5) Click the icon.

At that point, it's usually easier to find the tool icon in it's normal location, which makes the "Recent" tab useless.
