A Place to place our Improvement requests..?

Unread post by Damo »

I looked a little around here and could not find a thread or topic for us to post and discuss our enhancement requests.

I figure perhaps we could support each other a little and provide further support in the SWMP Enhancement request area.
Or, even the possibilty of that which we hope for may even be already possible, just unkown to us as to how..

I have a few in the system. Feel free to comment or vote on them. Or tell me why you hate them and think me a fool for asking for them..😉

Most of these are simple little user interface quirks that bug me.

The secondary mirror face is very annoying. Almost have enough new muscle memory to click in the Features to Mirror window before selecting the features.

Like your Linear Pattern.SLDPRT, there are a lot of places I would like to be able to set a different default.
