Would it be possible so if we have a symbol attribute that has a knockout, if the attribute does not have any text to show that the knockout turns off? What I am running into is the knockout border is still knocking out even when there is no text to show. The knockout / KO border is offset from the single "|" place holder you see for an attribute that has no text when you turn off the display of text so it's more than knocking out just the "|". Hope this makes sense. Getting late, can expand on if needed.

Done for the next update.

This is a good little fix. I've also noticed on some of our symbol attributes even where a blank/empty field is in place the KO shows so having this not show anything where no text is used is even better!

Would be nice to have a link in the File menu under Recent Folders called 'Open Session File', that would launch the File Open dialog set to the location set for the path for Session Files.

Last wish for this morning, promise Could we get a GTV drop down list and a GTV Update button that we could use to update the current drawings GTV's with the currently set layers for the selected xref? It's been really useful in the Layer Manager and Symbol Layer Manager. Saves a lot of time especially in large files.

If you REALLY wanted to wow us if you could keep tract of what layer on/off changes have been made for the currently selected xref and then had an Update All button this would be as often when using GTV linked xrefs the fear is we will need to add something that is going to need to be toggled on on all or most of the GTV's and it's a royal PITA to go thru one by one. It's kind of one of the main drawbacks of using GTV links vs non-linked xrefs.

If added, might want to re-title the sections of the existing xref's Layer and GTV List to avoid confusion with the new features. Besides the xrefs now have their files names so wonderfully shown in the main list.

Could we get a 'Value Properties' option to hide attributes from the Edit/Customize Symbol Attribute form but still displayed in the drawing space? Want to do a lookup by one attribute and then have it populate a bunch of secondary attributes via 'Field Filled By Lookup' in the drawing but don't want the users to be able to see or edit the secondary attributes in the form.

Could Ctrl+Enter close the Edit/Customize Symbol Attributes dialog if a drop down is the current field?

Would it be possible to get a symbol count in the symbol context menu and the symbol browser's context menu when right clicking a symbol that would show how many instances of the selected symbol occur in the drawing?

- Can the last location of the layout remain on the screen even when you scroll or zoom the display?

- The Layout menu option at F3 Extents says it will 'Zoom to last extents of the drawing', but it actually just draws a boundary of the current extents using whatever you have set for Layout %. Could this be made to actually zoom out to the drawings extents using the Zoom menu's settings for extents so it will always zoom to the drawings extents. I think I would find that more useful than the screen being scaled to the relationship between the Layout % & the current plot scale as it usually doesn't relate as well to the display for layout purposes unless you are doing full size sheets which if Layout Extents were made to work this way it would most likely work the same as it does now but then also work better for layouts that are at different scales than the final intended scale for the sheet. So if the new Layout was toggled on, the Layout % would probably need to disappear or visually toggle off. If toggled on then you would be prompted to input the layout % and Extents would toggle off. A new button would need to be added so when extents is toggled on, there is display boundary toggle option to duplicate the function it has now for slower systems.
