Drawing Template Questions (and Requests)

[neljoshua]

Happy Friday!

I am working on a drawing template. (Btw, I am thankful to have this functionality!) There are a few things that I have noticed and want to ask about.

1. I see a way to insert a logo in the titleblock, but it currently only accepts raster formats (JPEG, PNG, etc.). Is there a way to add a vector file (such as DXF, AI, or SVG)? If not, can this be added, please?
2. There is a bit of wonkiness with the text editor. If one double-clicks on an attribute, the entire attribute text will be selected. Pressing Delete or Backspace on the keyboard works as expected and deletes the attribute text. If one double-clicks on a text field, however, pressing Backspace does nothing and pressing Delete exits from the text editor and starts the delete geometry command. This neither seems logical nor intentional.
3. Can we add the ability to enter custom attributes? I am envisioning something like the way AutoCAD handles these.

Thanks!

   Edit title block runs via browser

   > EDIT PROPERTIES

   Insert new attribute content

         custom attributes are possible but not automatically filled via design data but  

         must be inserted manually.

Wait ... how can we add this as a request somewhere ... It is totally illogical that for Drawing templates we cannot add logos in a vector format to the title block ... only raster images.

Even if you can save a vector graphic as PNG, inserting SVG could be a good addition.
Please start a new thread for this topic.
