- Navigating quickly to where you really need to be in the feature tree to affect a change PRONTO ! Nigh on impossible

- Setting up close-shot perspective reliably. Nigh on impossible !

- A button for perspective that knows whether it's on or off !

- Doing a bunch of renderings based on a list of views you set - whilst you're asleep. Can't do it !

- (Differential) Scale a spline into a new situation by clicking 3 points .. ditto

- Doing symmetrical stuff, splines for starters - heavens, most everything in CAD in symmetrical .. and computers are really really good at symmetry

- Extending curves past boundaries without changing the character of that curve

- Better in-out for SolidWorks

- Setting grid for any kind of vehicular project .. where you typically work mostly to one side of the origin

- Keeping (somewhat) up with the Joneses in terms of rendering

- In OpenGL - 2 layers of transparency where you don't see a squillion little triangles

- Not having objects f$%king shoot off the page when I start a new session and the view-rotate-point was 10 feet off to the left for the last drawing I did

- Beautiful cleeeeeaaaaaaan anti-aliased splines : ) Mmm !

- Not a biggy .. but once you use them in other programs - you really miss them .... Little clicky-uppy-downy arrows next to each data entry box

- Master/Slave Surface Match (that works) for effective surface patching

- A Silhouette tool without behavioral issues

- An XYZ Triad that isn't always UNDER a dialog box

- Rationalised Dialog boxes .. they're everywhere once you get going - they need an adobe/get info style stacking system !


Be great to see other people's wishes - try to keep them specific & realistic

....and sheet metal tools!! ;) :D

Yep good one .. I particularly like this :

- Ability to change multiple features simultaneously

Stop typing what I am thinking! It is making me really paranoid! : )

I really hate to bring this up again, but over 4 years ago I first requested a way to highlight snap colors and text. The Mac users have this, but not Windows. I have asked again several times since, with no reply.
Another thing is , can someone show me a reason to rotate a Model-To-Sheet screen ? I understand that the 3DConnexion devices can be disabled in Ortho views, but not the Viewball or Mouse. Do we really need any views other than Top? Please give me an example.

>> Model to Sheet .. Do we really need any views other than Top?

Agree strongly - it's just dumb !

How about a drop-down quick layer tool that is separate from the screen hog when using concepts explorer?

>> do hidden lines work properly in higher products other than ViaCAD?

No, Frustrated me for years !

Can you post a simple, specific example ? The guys can usually get straight to the problem if you can.

Contextual layer menu has no indication of where you are in the layer list.

I would also like the ability to shut down all history trees and keep everything an ACIS solid. I don't know if it is bugs, or not, but often, I am making a solid, move something, or do a boolean operation, my part turns into a pile of rubble because some link has been modified, and what's worse, UNDO takes an egg beater and makes the rubble pile worse.
