An excellent addition to the tool box.
Thanks David

A wish for a future version of the Symbol Layer Manager or maybe the "Goodman Symbol Manager", a way to toggle symbol layers on/off based the distance of the cursor when drug away from the symbols insertion point when inserted. Similar to how the dynamic rotate works. You would set each layers distance tolerances and if the cursor is within the them, it will toggle on the layer. If outside, then that layer would be off for that instance of the symbol (or per definition if that's how the drawing is setup). Would be another step for our symbols to mimic dynamic blocks.

I don't know who hold the source code rights for the Subtext macro, Cheap Tricks Ware says Datacad LLC and JB CAD Services. If DCLLC holds it, would be nice if it could be tweaked to allow a blank value for the value for "Enter text from" so it will change any text selected to the entered text in the second value for "Enter text to:" Right now it won't allow a blank value.

Could the 2D Wall Styles be made to support longer names?

Also could it not reorder the Wall.STL file order so we could list the wall types in our preferred order in the Wall Styles Available drop down and not alphabetical?

I would have bet money this has been asked for before but couldn't find it on the forum. Could we get dimension text to show when repositioning the text instead of the boundary box?

Wish: Filled polylines that show their fill on all faces when viewed in 3D drawing space. I was trying to get a filled polyline to show up in 3d views but was not able to.

The image below is cubes in ISO view.
Image 1: Original Polyline
Image 2: I turned the fill and the outline of the polyline disappeared.
Image 3: I turned on the SBF Outline and the outline came back.
Image 4: This was my desired result but I could not achieve this.

Solid color fills would be fine at this point. I would not expect bitmaps mapped to faces in iso unless a better 3D engine was added or something.

Would be nice if we could get Datacad's core file dialog boxes updated to be based off off Common Item Dialog (CID) so we can use the newer navigation features like Quick Access, breadcrumb navigation, navigation tree.

I'll even help re-create all the screenshots for the manual

Could the ability be added to turn off both 2D & 3D view dependency in the symbol layer manager for layers now since the addition of Symbol Layer On/Off Control?

One use is I want to add a few reference layers to my symbols to help aid in construction when I need to make changes to a symbol in a drawing. The second use is I am creating a bunch of new 2D/3D smart symbols and I want to add layers now for scale dependence for future use in case the scale list F# position issue ever gets addressed. I would like those layers to remain off in both 2D & 3D until the scale list issue is fixed. I don't really want to keep a whole catalog of stuff along side the symbols and then have to come back and add it all in again later if it's not too hard to add in the wish above now and just turn their display off to keep it hidden.

When xclipping if a line or other entity is coplanar with the clip the entity still displays. I can see where this might be wanted some times, but I am also having instances where this is an issue. Would be nice if there was a toggle to exclude or include coplanar entities with the xclip.
