Just a reminder that these will only show up if you have added/modified the following key in the [General] section of the INI file:



Setting this key to TRUE tells DataCAD to try and align the options in the 3D editing menus to their 2D counterparts. This was added back in v17.

Would it be possible to get a text box added below the Folder Tree Selector for manual path entry in the Symbol Browser Folder select dialog box so we can manually type the path to a share/folder? We have some servers here which do not have Windows Network Discovery turned on so we access them with UNC paths.

In the Layers menus of the Import Drawing File and Purge dialogs , could we get an option to deselect empty layers so we can leave behind any layers that are empty to help cleanup problematic files.

When we export DWG files to a folder it's often to a temporary folder so we can zip the resulting files together. Could Datacad release it's hold on the folder once the export process is complete? We can't edit or delete the temporary folder until we close Datacad to release it's hold on the folder.

When we use Move Drag or Copy Drag, Datacad's keyboard's arrow key input gets interrupted by mouse movements resulting in the display not moving and stacking up the arrow key input which when they finally get their turn often jump past the point the user wants to scroll to. This has been like this forever it seems, but I what I just noticed was other similar commands do not seem as sensitive to the mouse movement interrupting. I can Move Drag or Copy Drag a symbol and get the issue, but if I insert the same symbol from the symbol browser the keyboard is not interrupted (if it is it's nowhere near as noticeable). I thought it might be related to the rubber band being drawn but the stretch command doesn't seem to do it either. Anywho if the rubber band being disabled help with this I wouldn't miss it. Just seems from on our side of the screen that the performance should be similar. Not sure what the Drags would be doing behind the scenes to cause such a difference in input performance.

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.
