Would be nice if 2D doors had sills.

The option to add sill lines, in a different color, would be simply marvelous. I wind up adding the two lines manually for exterior doors. The different color allows the linework to drop back when printed.

I think you can have (at least I can) have door sills at different colors. Just make sure you have sills set to show in the 2d tab. I'll update when back at a v16 machine.

We are referring to the old fashioned doors and not the newer smart ones.

While we are discussing enchancements to 2d openings, it would also be helpful if the sill lines for windows could be set to a difference color.

Would be nice if there was an option for curved entities and polygons to be drawn reversed so linetypes would be drawn in the opposite direction. Most linetypes are created with the definition drawn with it's orientation up. When drawing these shapes the majority of linetypes with a discernible orientation are drawn backwards.

Could we get an option either as an ini line or a check box on the orphan manager, that would suppress the warning messages when opening a drawing. Our drawings always have orphans based on our base files having them by design, so the warnings are not much use to us and we tend to ignore them. Often they get hidden behind another window and when we figure out that the drawing should have been open by now, we have to alt+tab or something to get them to the forefront of Windows. Thanks.

Josh, I agree. The error dialog tends to be "behind" other programs, and it stops the loading process. When I open a lot of drawings at once, this makes it take much longer, because I cannot see the error, and I have to toggle between programs to force the error to show up in front.

Perhaps there could be a "don't remind me about this file" check box?
