Enhancement Requests (Nozzle labels, etc.)

[djohnson1976]

Not sure if this is the right place to put enhancement requests for Plant 3D, but here goes:

1)  Currently, when you select equipment, you see pencil icons for each nozzle that allow you to edit the nozzle properties, location, etc.  It would be awesome to have (an optional and customizable) floating label by each nozzle.  The user should be able to designate how the label would appear when the equipment is highlighted.  In other words, show the nozzle number (i.e. N-1) or show the nozzle number and the size (i.e. N-1, 3") or add the end type and pressure class.

These labels would help users edit the correct nozzle much more quickly, especially with equipment that have a large amount of nozzles.

2)  When you highlight a pipe and click on the triangular "Change Pipe Elevation" grip, you have options to tab through "Bottom of Pipe", etc.  Currently Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V functionality exits the box and prompts for a pasteclip object rather than copying or pasting a value into the box.

3)  There should be a way (through the interface, not editing an xml file) to modify the tolerance of alignment to get pipe and fittings to connect with adjacent objects.  Requiring the object to be aligned withing 8 decimal places does not reflect real-world tolerances.  Granted, users should have things lined up, but when combining your efforts with civil objects, the work of other disciplines and designers, this should be a bit more forgiving.

4)  Change the (frequently selected and used) scroll bar back to its normal width throughout the AutoCAD GUI.

5)  Option to alphabetize tool palette objects by the visible descriptions (rather than just alphabetizing the categories.

for number 2, you can copypaste values just first, hit a number (eg. 1) , delete it then use the paste (ctrl+v) to input the value. thanks
