Resize Dialog Box

[Anonymous]

Dialog boxes like the ones used to pattern features / components, select members in parts lists are too small and can not be made bigger.

This behavior feels like decades old!

When typing a formula for the spacing or quantity of a pattern, you need to scroll left and right to be able to edit the formula that only display 15 characters or so.  This makes it really hard since unless the formula is very simple you can never see the whole thing.

It gets worse when you want to select the members (with long and similar names) to include in a Parts List where again only a few characters are shown and you can never read the full text.  This is so bad that the only solution is guessing... 😞

This is still an issue in version 2020.2.

I am working on a formula in a Rectangular Pattern in sketch mode.

Only 12 characters of the 25-character formula are visible. (54 characters once Inventor pads it out with spaces.)

The dialog box can not be resized to make its text boxes longer.

I would like it such that any dialog box of this type should be resizable, and also remember their previously-set size. Or have the text boxes size themselves up as needed to always display the entirety of what is being entered.
