Add to the list.

Ability to assign properties to solids before using make components.

Also, lock in corresponding parameters to its solid body when creating parts. Currently a manual process to grab the required parameters.

Autodesk was watching the Augi wishlist too...

Joking aside there are LOTS of great wishes on the Mcad list... I really love the wishes from that mcgyvr guy.

Sean..Plan on having a voting cycle similar to Augi?... Right now it's just hundreds of wishes.. Many that I and others could care less about. Some way to rank them into things that many people would want will be a nice addition. "Hopefully" this would allow Autodesk to see what there is a real need for and not something 1 guy wants.

"I really love the wishes from that mcgyvr guy"...

Really?  He seems clueless to me

Yes, was thinking about the votiong cycle idea as well.  Open to suggestions.

Ouch that stings..

Not sure what features you have with your board software but many have simple voting/reporting functionality as part of the package. Just need to have a stop date for submissions then feed the wishes into the program and away you go.. I'd actually like to see the wishes broken up into areas like "vault specific" "part environment" "assy environment",etc...

Yes there are voting oiptions.  Not a bad idea about breaking them up into categories.

I GUESS that I need to go over and check the list and add my request that I've been asking for since 2000. It should be the very fist modgule for any new or old CAD system a real spell checker with technical terms in the library, not the MS piece of ________ , that really does not work. I still remember the one I used as a ad-on or Acad that was great and was at the time only $10 per seat, Cadedit. As a text editor it was great and as a spell checker it had a large technical word list  and you could add to you're hearts content more words. I never understud why Autodesk did'nt buy the one man company out back in the eary 90's, it could not of been that expenseive. It had to be cheaper that what they are paying MS for their spell checker.

I do see using the MS dictionary as a benifit becuase many of the words you use in Inventor you will probably use in Word and other programs (outfeed, lowerator, customer names etc..).  So no need to have two dictionaries with different sets of words.

But I do see your point as well.

Sean, have you tried to use the MS spell checker? Once you open it you then have to reduce the IV window to find the spell checker and for some reason it rests the font size in the spell checker to 2 point so you need to change so you can read it. Does not effect text size in dwg at least.  Also what it will spell check is very limited, can't spell check Field text.
