How about we fix this?

[#2]

Amen.  The point of a detail drawing is supposed to be clarification, not obfuscation.

[#3]

I would find it useful if properties could be derived. For instance, I have a L/R part created through an assembly mirror operation. Both parts are laser cut from the same cnc program and then braked in different directions. (I have **** loads of these) I store the cnc program number as an iproperty that is referenced in the details' titleblocks. It would be nice if I could include this property (amongst others) in the derive function so I never have to worry about making sure they match.

[#4]

Could it be a text parameter fed into a custom iProperty?  The parameter could be included in the derived part.

[#5]

That's what I do now, but it's a lot of extra clicks. It would be nice if I could just toggle the properties directly.

[#6]

Put me down for that one too.

[#7]

Would that be better handled if sheet metal bends were an assembly feature? (of course then you'd have to make the part, flatten it, then what? export a dxf to use as a sketch for a flat part then ...)

But it would be useful if derived parts weren't so "dumb" (like feature patterns aren't recognized, etc.)

[#8]

Add an "Endpoint" selection to the Point Snap menu in sketch mode.  Also, for sketch mode, add a 2 point circle creation option.

[#9]

How is a two point cicle different from the current standard circle?

Huh?
Why are we talking about assembly features? I just want properties to be included in the derive dialog.

Being able to regonize feature patterns for use with component patterns would certainly be another nice touch.
