Show a warning dialog when checking "Disjoin"

Show a warning dialog when checking "Disjoin"

I'm working on a project where the architect (again) switched grid locations (this time moving them from face of wall/column to column centers). He did it using Move with the Disjoin option checked. It would be great if it popped up a dialog saying something like "Disjoin Warning: Using the 'Disjoin' option is like making a copy and deleting the original and will therefore BREAK ALL COPY-MONITOR RELATIONSHIPS in addition to Dimensions, Columns on Grids, etc. Consider changing the Column properties (for the sake of your consultants) instead."

 

I just learned about this feature, then promptly learned why I hope no one else will ever use it... The dialog could come up once per session, but even if it comes up EVERY time the feature's used I think that would be fine, too - after all, we put up with the Audit warning EVERY time that's checked even though that only adds a few seconds to the open time (less time than closing the dialog costs, IMO).

 

And yes, I know this could be fixed by simply educating users, but this usually is only discovered AFTER the feature is used (and impacts us when it's used OUTSIDE our company, so we can only educate others after the fact).

I would add to this that I think that that the disjoin button has a lot of bugs in it. If you have disjoin checked when you use the move command, it also negates and removes pinning of objects! I only discovered this recently while teaching a Revit class (and I've been using Revit for 8+ years).

It all comes down to it being essentially like a copy & delete (which is why you get new element IDs and it breaks copy/monitor, etc.).

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.

Not quite the same idea:

Options bar: Check an option as "Just This Once" or "Temporarily"

though best would be to have Disjoin ALWAYS default to unchecked (for EVERY use). It's just too dangerous.
