We believe that the joint box technology is one of the biggest strengths of Advance Steel, however.....
We really need a way to stop the joint dialog box from closing when using Autocad commands.
We find we are spending 1000s of click and picks just going backwards and forwards to the joint dialog box when using simple autocad commands.
Commands like DIST, DIM etc which all help the user for input into the joint dialog box.
So a good idea I had to solve this would be to add a table to one of the databases that has a list of commands that DO NOT close the dialog box. Any other commands that are not present in the table will close the dialog box as per normal.
For example we could add:
- DIST
- DISTANCE
- DIMLIN
- DIMVERT
- etc
To this table and if we then execute these commands the dialog box doesn't close.
You can't imagine the number of clicks and picks this could reduce in a day.
