AutoSketch 9. Wish list from a Drafix user.

[Anonymous]

Everyone who has used both Drafix 4.xx and AutoSketch 5.xx, 6.xx, 7.xx or
8.xx will immediately se that AutoSketch is based on Drafix 4.xx.

So here is (once again) a short list of negative changes (when "upgrading"
from Drafix 4.11 to AutoSketch ) - and wishes for version 9.0 (They,
AutoDesk, didn't listen for version 6, 7 and 8 ..)

SYMBOL LIST
The drop down list of symbols is no longer sorted (alphabetic). Very
inconvenient when you have symbol libraries with more than a few symbol.
Make this list sorted again (as it is in the edit entities dialog box).
(The layer list is still sorted so it is can not be very hard do.)

GRIDDOTTHRESHOLD
You can't set griddotthreshold and gridlinetreshold in the grid options box
as you can in Drafix 4.11.
When the grid is too dense (I use 100 mm) the redraw speed is hopelessly
slow (no background redraw function while I'm waiting for the grid to
display.) (PS, This applies for some combinations of (big) paper sizes an
grid-minor-style = dots)

MACRO LANGUAGE
The macro language has been disabled.
Wish: Enable the programming language / DGL. (Yeah it's there, - just
disabled. If you know the keys it will be enabled.)

VERTEX EDITING
Right mouse button is no longer supported for vertex and segment editing.
This is inconvenient and requires a lot of mouse movement.
Wish: enable right mouse button vertex and segment editing

LAYER LIST
The layer description is no longer shown in the statusline when scrolling
through the layerlist (in the property tool bar).
This is very inconvenient because I use non-descriptive layer names. (As we
do in Norway according to our standard NS8351. Ex A233 is Windows, A621 is
Elevators, etc. A = Architect.)
Wish: show layer description in status line and/or has tooltip

LAYER DIALOG BOX
Double clicking on a layer name does not make a layer current and close the
dialog box. Nice shortcut that has been removed.
Wish: reenable and make the dialog box scaleable

DRAWING VARIABLES AND REGISTRY VALUES
Registry values and drawing variables are no longer documented. (Old Drafix
users are better off.)
Wish: Document drawing variables and registry values in the help files.

TEXT EDITOR
Windows maximize button has been removed
Wish: the text editor window should remember its size.
