i am having lots of problems with the following items in AutoCAD Mechanical 2005..
Match properties functions not working properly.
My grips keep turning off.
The associative hide doesn't work with xrefs.
The associative hide blows me out of mechanical if i select more than say 3 items at a time.
My delete key only works sporadically.
Mechanical dimensions and leader lines (among other possible objects that i haven't discovered yet) show up as proxy objects in AutoCAD 2005.
Random xref errors ranging from file management, not loading properly at drawing start and getting blown out of Mechanical when accessing xref manager.
when i doubleclick on a text object to change it, the text editor doesnt always open.
the enhanced attribute dialog box is *super slow* coming up and at times everything typed into the dialog box doesnt appear on the screen (even after hitting apply and ok). the timing of the dialog box and the WYSWYG is way off and its possible to type faster than the text update appears on the screen. the text gets truncated at random points during typing and you have to go back in a second time to fix it.
i woud like to be able to turn off the "enhanced" editors and select the ones i like-manually overriding the mechanical presets whereand when desired.
overall its a good package, but there are a lot of things that need to be improved-hopefully sooner than later for me to be happy with it.
