DataCAD 19 Wishlist

New thread!

I would like to be able to use Offset on a void in a hatch pattern. This way I can hatch a 2x2 ceiling grid, and drop voids into it snapping to the grid - and them Offset it 1/32" to the inside, so that all the lines show as they should.

When using Copy / Drag it would be great to have Dynamic Rotate and Flip available.

I like the new snap settings icons, but if it included Nearest, that would be great.

Are you referring to the Object Snap toolbar? If so, it's already there.

Thanks Dave - there is a lot of new stuff in the Program Preferences, and I had not dug deep enough into the Toolbars pulldown menus.

When using Stretch, after selecting the distance to stretch, S7 says Distance / 2. If you then select F8 New Distance, we get both Prev / 2 and Prev * 2.

Can we get Distance * 2 on the main Stretch menu, at the S8 position?

I have the auto-crossing feature turned on, but sometimes I need to start an area / fence selection and go in the "wrong direction" and I want to hit F1 a toggle the Crossing off - but it doesn't work. :?

Can we have a Change/Match/All for Smart Arrows? Or, do we have this already; and if so how?

In dimensions would it be possible to have multi-line text in the dimension prefix and suffix. Or at least be able to have the suffix be on a line below the dimension string?

Could we have the grid colors be allowed to use any of the colors in the in the color palette instead of just the standard colors?

I just found out that the user.tlx file from v18 doesn't get copied to v19 during installation - I hope this can be done?
