why does autodesk break things that work well?

With R5.3 we have alot of custom callouts with prompted entries. What you
had to do was right click on the symbol, select insert callout, click twice
on the page select continue, and enter the value.

Now you have this idiotic symbols dialog that forces you to use the mouse
buttons more often and it doesn't even automatically bring up the user
prompt, you have to activate it? What am I missing? Does it fix you a cup
of coffee and wash your or something because I cannot see any advantage to
this new system.

Autodesk, you can keep the new dialog in the program, just please put the
old right click "insert callout" back in. Ok?

If your talking about symbols, you can use both methods now. If you RMB on the
symbol name, you get the "insert" just like 5.3. If you click the insert symbol
icon, you get the new dialog. This new dialog is very helpful if you want to
scale or rotate the symbol, a feature very much lacking in 5.3.

The outcries over the confusion spawned by having two types of objects and
different behaviors resulted
in an effort to separate them (dialog). The desire was to eliminate the
confusion to a degree possible while adding the
new scale / rotate functionality.

Although the "insert callout" command could have been left on the context
menu, it would have been
modified to initiate the dialog so that the command behaved the same in both
points of access through the UI.
So, in all likelihood it wouldn't have remained the way you want it.
