REALLY BAD part list interface

[Anonymous]

Inexcusible, really. It reminds me of the days when the Windows interface wasn't firmed up and programmers were feeling there way through standards in the dark.




Things that in my opinion MUST be fixed with R7:




1.) Allow resizing of dialog boxes. Most MCAD users run higher resolution than 640x480.




2.) Let me drag part list rows around like Microsoft Excel to reorder items. I use the auto reorder and renumber (nice features), but are not flexible enough for everything. You required Excel to run this software anyway, use it features effectively.




3.) Let me override the material column value. What if I want to call an assembly a material, Like purchased? Let me rename the hardware material from your fine content library to something besides Default.




My frustration may be showing, but simple things like this cause massive irritaiton and lost time.




Fellow users, please list the annoying interface problems with this good software package often and loud so they get fixed in a hurry.

How about having to pick each item in a parts list to change its state. pick, rmb, visiblity.
Gets old after awhile!

4.) Remember resizing.

5.) Add a parts list row, and hence BOM PROPERTY,
called SHEET NO, and allow SHEET NO to be called in SPLIT BALLOONS.

I agree - inexcusable! Definitely not Windows
compliant programming.

Evertime you open the parameters window... you have to resize it.

I can't keep the view I want in the open/save dialog box (view details with certain fields shown)
