Topic Title

I knew it sounded like a good idea Thanks AJ. Couldn't find it on the list. Might be a good time to update that and the lists if we are missing such fabtabulous features.

I am really digging on the Pak-N-Go feature. It makes sending a file(s) off nice and quick, but I think it could use a few little tweaks.

It would be nice if the "pak" was in a more accessible format like .zip It would be nice to just be able to extract files using standard means without having to launch Datacad or even having it installed.

A Pak-N-Go export to DWG option so we can quickly send outsiders files and take advantage of the nice file structuring and other Pak-N-Go features.

C'mon, Josh ... do you think that a software company would really listen to a user's suggestions? Why, they'd lose their programmers secret decoder ring if they did that!!!

Great suggestion! I know that Dave and the crew can do it!

It would be nice to be able to create multiple color translation files that we would be able to load at the import and export dialogs. Right now it's pretty straight forward to create/adjust the default.tbl using the DWG TrueView to view a clients ctb file and then adjust the translation table, the clincher is having to swap out the single tbl file each time, and keeping them stashed away in different folders. The swapping out of the default.tbl in the file system is a little much for some users. Maybe adding a path option \support files\Translation Tables?

It would very handy indeed if we could have a customizable dialog box that would open when a drawing is opened. We have some default detail sheets that when something is done in one drawing a corresponding change needs to be done in another file. A Title & Text Field we could set say under Settings, F8 Open Dialog? Thx.

I wish we could redefine a symbol on the hard drive via Ctrl+right click. This would probably make for the fastest editing of symbols. Double click to edit the symbol, close and save to update the drawings version of the symbol. If needed Ctrl+right click as shown to then update the hard drive symbol. That way the only odd man out would be if you want to only update the symbol on the hard drive and not the drawings, you would then double click to edit, redefine via the symbol browser, close and not save. Since this would be the least likely to happen I think this would be fine. But being able to redefine the HD symbol on the fly via Ctrl+right click would be great. Maybe should have a prompt "Are you sure you want to over write "Path\symbolname.dsf"? Also if the symbol no longer exists on the hard drive a prompt that would say "This symbol does not exist. Would you like to create it now?" This would make recovering lost symbols a little eaiser too.
