I am really trying to take advantage of using Symbol Fields these days. Came up with a few wishes. :D

:idea: Support for longer field names.

:idea: Allow for reordering of the field positions

:idea: Would it be possible to add a BOOLEAN type and get support for it in the Form processor to output True/False and/or Yes/No

:idea: One thing that would save me a TON of time is if we could create sets of fields and save them to a file, maybe call them Field Sets. Then when creating new symbols we could load the appropriate field set into the Field Editor without having to recreate every field everytime.

:idea: Would like to be able to set the default fields created for new symbols, could be set by picking a default Field Set?

... don't know what happened to the slashes in my previous post, but obviously the URL is invalid and should be .

I haven't decided on a name for this macro yet, so any suggestion in that regard would also be appreciated.

Would it be possible to get 'Arc Length' added as an input option for 2Pt arc so after we pick the Center and Start points, we could hit the Arc Length button so we could input an arc length and Datacad would draw the arc that length vs the angle method we have now?

Would it be possible to add EGAFM selection to Move & Copy's In front/Behind menus since they reference a single entity to move relative to?

Could we get a check box for the DCADWIN.INI file line "Process XREFs= " added to the Program Prefs DXF/DXG Tab, Default Import Settings section?
