Jody -
I can't help but notice - you
really should contact your reseller and arrange for some
training. You are definitely spending a lot time looking for features and
functionality that are there but not necessary apparent to you.
Additionally, a lot of your questions concern AutoCAD functionality as
well. Granted, our early releases could
have been better, but we have many success stories of folks using ABS 3 and ABS
2004. Check out our website and hear it directly from Flack &
Kurtz. We do believe the product is capable or doing what's needed and we
are busy working making it better. We will continue to help you here on
the newsgroup, but this forum is voluntary and you would be much better served
by formal training.
Let me know if you are unsuccessful with your
reseller - I can put you directly in touch with someone from Autodesk
Professional Services. You have a lot do and I doubt you'll be wanting to
continue to search out functionality the hard way...
