Looking for help from someone... anyone... everyone...

Can anyone who has time, please run over to the Idea forum and vote for these ideas please?

I really need this functionality here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/construction-line-tool-similar-to-centerline-command/idi-p/12035738 This would be a "nice to have" option that would make parts of my life easier.

I need to have this functionality here or I'm going to go crazy: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/centerline-bisector-quot-overshoot-quot-or-extension-control/idi-p/12008462 There's been several requests for this functionality for years.

And, I've been waiting for over 10 years for this: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/staggering-non-fillet-weld-symbols/idc-p/10519729#M42821 I guess there are only a few of us on here who actually use correct weld symbols on our drawings. Not everything is a fillet weld.

And I hate that we don't have this option here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/application-options-for-constraint-inference-scope/idc-p/6751888#M15637 I'm tired of my sketches becoming over-constrained and I'm tired of having to go back and jettison these coincident constraints that show up everywhere. Again, my sketch geometry is going to be constrained in a way that follows my design intent (like I was trained), not randomly constrained to some unrelated piece of geometry clear on the other side of the sketch. I need this turned off now. It's been long enough, and has created enough problems already. This stupid functionality needs to completely go away and should never have been implemented, but I'll settle for a simple way to turn it off for every sketch I create for the rest of my life, and if someone else wants it turned on, they can (although if you've been trained on the best practices of IV you'll realize this constraint being applied this way is ridiculous).

Thanks for your help. Today marks the opening day of voting/election season, I guess.

Voted.

I used to be more skeptical of AutoCAD users until I started seeing how much more extendable and configurable it is out of the box. Inventor has so many options like that which are a small stretch away from development, but sometimes those will get shutdown forever, and either the cost to implement them through API is too high or the settings simply cannot be reached from API alone.
