Undo and Float in Change Parameters Window

[AmarandAgasi]

This is a two-in-one idea. I realize that "undo in change parameters" was already a suggestion, but that was over two years ago, and I have a second part to this.

1) I think it would be great to have undo and redo support, especially via the standard hotkeys (control-z and control-y respectively), so if you're in the Modify -> Change Parameters window, you can make a change to a parameter, and then, when you inevitably select a number that's wacky, you can just control-z to undo, and be right back where you started.  A lot of designers keep their eyes on the design side of the screen to see how a parameter change impacts the design, so they may not even know the original value of the parameter.  Undo would make a lot of designers' lives a lot easier.

2) Just like the Sketch Palette is docked when you're in Sketch mode, I'd like to see the Parameter window be a floating/docked window that can be up at all times, or at least turned on and off.  Fusion 360 is a parametric design tool.  I feel like the parameter window should be allowed to hang out in the forefront, so we can enter parameters while we're designing, not going into a menu, making a change, then exiting, continuing the design. If this window were dockable/floatable, it could (if the user so chooses) sit on-screen, even taking the space of the "browser" area on the left-hand side of the screen. When I'm working on a project, I'm focused on that singular project.  Maybe other people like to browse while they design, but I don't.  It seems distracting.  So, perhaps when someone's actually working on a design, the "file browser" could take a backseat automatically, and the parameters window (or something else?  User's choice!) could take up that valuable real estate.

Thanks guys!

As an aside, I think of this very much like the color palette in Adobe Photoshop, or any of the other "floating" or "docked" toolbars that people open up, and leave open.  If you put the User Parameters over on the right or left, you can still see the design in the center of the screen.  So many times, I've started a sketch, only to realize I hadn't entered any or all of the parameters I needed. Usually, it's when I'm working mid-stream with my mind in "design mode." If I had access to the User Parameters screen right there, I could bounce back and forth between creating items and entering/changing numbers. I really think it would improve workflow.

Another benefit of allowing this window to "float" or "dock" is that we give things names, and sometimes we forget what we named them.  Mostly because we aren't using the most intuitive names, but the computer can help us with that, usually, with the auto-fill. I've found having the information on-screen is much more helpful, and I find myself opening up the window to find out what parameter names I used when I haven't a clue, coming back to a design a few days or weeks later.

Another aside....  I just started a new project, and started entering all of my parameters.  There are a lot of them (for me to memorize).

If we can't get a floating/docked Parameters window, it would be nice to have one or all of the following:

1) Export the contents of the Parameters section

2) Import (CSV?) Parameters

3) Print the contents of the Parameters section

I realized that one of my problems is remembering the names. I know there's auto-fill but what if you don't really know where to start with typing the name? Right now, I'm just doing a window-capture in Windows, and printing that out.  Less than ideal.
