Issues when moving to F360

First, do I still call "electronic designs" in F360 for an "Eagle" design? Autodesk appears to want to get rid of the Eagle name, since I see little/nothing of it in F360, but it is not clear to me how to search for help without using "eagle" as key. Using "electronic design" as a keyword will massively pollute my search, and using F360 will give me a lot of irrelevant hits. Please guide.
Second, I imported my rather complex Eagle design into F360, and because it is rather big, there is a massive wait (1min 20sec) for F360 to fill the polygons every time I open the design. Apparently there is no manual fill any more. (May I suggest Autodesk internally tesselate all polygons before working on them live?). A side effect of this is that any changes to my vias will add big waits for polygons to auto update. Can I get back the old manual fill way?
Third, my polygon fills now leaves a few airwires even if it filled completely on Eagle7.7. Clearly it is no longer 100% compatible. One reason seems to be because via's center point now need to be embedded into the polygon fill to count as included. I guess thats a fair deal. Another more serious reasons seems to be linked to F360 imporing my 0-width cutout polygons wrong. See attached images from Eagle 7.7 vs F360 (current release). Clearly the opening that I made for my artificial thermals are different. Yet I can not understand how that could happen. Did it use something else from a different library?
Forth, there is a few homemade features that I cant live without that I can no longer have, since there is no user-context menu anymore. Stuff like
-locating a device in the sch or brd, by simply rightclicking it in sch and choose "locate in brd", and vice versa.
-In board, right click a signal and choose "hide layer"
-In board, right click a signal and choose "display all affected layers"
-plus a few more useful, but less important ones
Can I get those in a near future version?
