I have 3 things that I would like to stop that frustrate me each day in Datacad..

I use ALT-I all the time to change from task to task.. If I am making notes and see a dimension needs to be added, I Alt-I on the nearest dimension and draw my dimension.. Alt-I on a text string to get back to notations.. Please let me know if there is a quicker way to work..

ARROWS.. I dislike the default 3.0 aspect arrows.. Somehow Datacad always goes back to 3.0 So I always have to input 1.0 again.. I wish 1.0 would stay. Could be my Alt-I on to text or dimension sets it back to 3.0??

DIMENSIONS.. Does anyone find Line 1 or Line on/off toggle useful?? So I very often find Line one is turned off.. Apparently Stringline toggle turns off Line 1.. Drive me nuts to have to turn Line 1 on again. I just upgraded from 11 to 17 and I this NEVER happened in 11 but I called Datacad and was condescendingly told I am imagining things. There should have been no difference in the transition.. Well it irritates me so. Does anyone NEED line 1 (or Line 2) turned off? Somewhere it preferences it would be nice to force Line and Line 2 on forever.

TEXT.. Basic text in Version 11 kept it's alignment left permanently. Now I very often make a note and it's aligned right. Very irritating to say the least. All began with Version 17.

I have lived with these for quite a while and I am thinking I should not have to..

Thanks...

Josh,

So the bulk of the problem is I tend to use older files as a starting point and I will need to remember to globally reset text.. Unfortunately a lot of old text re-aligns poorly requiring a lot of re-positioning... Or edit my text macro to use Paratext from now on..

Thanks for you help.
