Hi Jeff,
Look, I can understand frustration....to a point.
I've been using LDT since it was DCA, and to this day there are still things
that are either not done at all or not done correctly (for my area). Have I
filed wishes/complaints? Yes, with the proper people (reseller and
wish-list). Have any of my wishes/complaints been addressed? Yes, many. Yet
there still remains a number of deficiencies. I have a folder full of
lisp/VBA routines that I've written, along with another folder of other's
works, that address most of the areas that Autodesk has not. Do I bash the
software? No, I look for workarounds and/or solutions that I can do so I can
get on with my work. Many of these I post, some I offer for sale (mainly
those I've already written but add specific functions for specific
purposes), some I never talk about.
Your comment "...and very rarely do they look to these forums for new
ideas..." is way off base as far as C3D is concerned. I would say that a
high proportion of what you see in today's program is a direct result of
user feedback AND the perusal of these newsgroups by the folks that CAN make
the decisions to include them.
Again, this is a Wishes group where you can ask for things to be included
(or removed) from future versions. For problems there is the basic Civil3d
group, your reseller, and the emails direct to the folks working on the
program (no, I won't post them as they already have. Search for Dan P, Glen
A, Peter F, etc.....)
Respectfully,

I'm a little confused about your post?
Are you saying that if we post this request to the wish list that it'll get
done? Think again! AutoDesk has its own agenda, and very rarely do they
look to these forums for new ideas. That has been proven time and time
again.
