Need option to insert source/destination pairs back-to-back

Need option to insert source/destination pairs back-to-back

A couple of customers have asked for an option to insert a source arrow and immediately have a destination arrow pop up for placement in the drawing. They have many source and destination pairs to insert on the same drawing and want to save time by not having seeing the popup that offers to "Insert matching Destination arrows now." If you check the box not to display the prompt again, and you select Yes, you just keep getting source arrows. This checkbox is a little bit misleading.

The ideal workflow would be as follows:
-Click to insert a Source arrow
-Assign a code (i.e. SIG000)
-A radio button is added to the "Insert matching Destination arrows now" dialog that offers to insert additional source/destination pairs with an option to automatically index the signal arrow code without a prompt. If code SIG000 was used for the first pair, offer to increment additional pairs without even popping up the edit dialog.

With this optional workflow, after a SIG000 Destination arrow is inserted, a SIG001 Source arrow pops up for placement. After the SIG001 Source is inserted, a SIG001 Destination arrow pops up for placement, and so forth and so on, until the Escape key is pressed.

I want the facility not to show the Insert matching destination arrows dialogue ever again (maybe by a wd.env variable)

 

Ill Vote up based on my comments being implemented as well.

 

It would also be good if you could select multiple ends of wires and multiple source or destination arrows be placed in one hit
