Change material and appearance dropdown list widths

Change material and appearance dropdown list widths

Would be helpful to be able to adjust the width of the material and appearance dropdown lists so longer names were visible or cause the dropdown to auto-size based on the longest name in the list.

We create custom appearances based on our stock materials and finishes so they can be automatically applied in our drawing title blocks. We've got to be pretty specific with the names of several in order auto-populate our title blocks and since the dropdown box width is limited, it cuts off the descriptions so we've got to apply them just to see which one we're picking. A lot of our paint finishes even have a specific mix code after the color so we get the same shade/sheen every time.

A couple of examples are: PLASTIC, POLYCARBONATE, ANTI-STATIC, CLEAR or PRIME AND PAINT, RESEDA GREEN, RAL-6011.

Hi @dlandisadaptek, this has been requested before and the master Idea has a lot of votes behind it (68 at the moment). Please add your vote to the original to help get this suggestion recognized: Appearance list expandable/bigger, names too long. Thanks!

Thanks DRoam. I looked for something similar but evidently didn't use the right search terms.
