There are a lot of shortcomings with Spell-checking in Revit, here are a few suggestions on how it could be improved:
- Autocorrect option - add an option to remember a text string change and automatically change it in future (Change All doesn't do this), similar to Word
- Foreign characters not recognised in dictionary, and are ignored and repeatedly flagged as mistakes, eg. Façade
- Allow searching groups & schedule text
- Allow editing multiple words
- Abbreviations like A/C F/H should be able to be added to the dictionary
- Spellchecking should be able to check the whole project in one go
- Should be more intuitive and not offer unlikely words as a replacement which can cause more problems (eg. Revit first suggests replacing ACCESABLE with ACCUSABLE, rather tha ACCESSIBLE; or HANDELS with HANDLE rather than HANDLES, even though these typographic errors may have been made a hundred times in the past, and those first words in the suggestion list are unlikely to ever be found in architectural drawings)
