Hi, I wonder if there have been any solutions to the following annoyances. They have been there for too long and they keep bugging us each time. 1. Empty blocks. They do not figure in quick select but they do appear in block edit (alias: be). Is there a way to quickly delete them? Mine solution is to open the block in block edit and create long zigzag lines so that they are seen on the screen so I can delete them? Are there any other solutions? 2. Persistant Layers. There are layers that are so persistant. They can't be seen with quick select, turn off all layers except that particular layer and the screen is blank, layer walk does not work. They are most of the time blocks within blocks within blocks. 3. Blocks with far away base points. I edit the block, insert base point parameters and all the blocks have move elsewhere. This is problematic especially when using strech. All the objects are stretch except for some blocks accessoires who remain in their place. One solution is save as in block editor and the far from mastered replacing a block with another one. 4. The overall scale properties of a newly created multileader style does not work on existing multileaders. When applied, you will see the style being applied and verified in properties but the scale used (for example if 5) remained as is. You got to change it via properties manually through you have already specified the scale in the style. 5. Block - changes not saved dialog box. It is like the peditaccept issue for me. Good for pedit that a variable exists to turn the prompt off. How to save and exit from the Block editor in one go? 6. Is there a way to use osnap (i.e mid between two points, from) as well as having a combination of osnap automatically set using momentary shortcut keys or simply attached to edit commands like move/mirror/copy selection. The m2p,mtp alias through 3 letters seemed too far away from my point of view. One big issue is with perpendicular osnap with xlines (xlines cannot create vertical lines) and having all osnaps turned off each time I work with mvsetups. 7. Having to locate a directory amidst the tree structure of a network when plotting in pdfs is a real nightmare. There is no "Places" in saved/plot dialog box as it sure does in open dialog box. 8. You add attributes to a blocks and nothing happens. You have to set temporary location marks, delete the blocks and inserting the block back. Now the prompts sometimes does in the command prompt area instead of a dialog box. Those annoyances sometimes kill productivity/output as one works with autocad. There are many mores but should there be solutions, I will be glad to hear them. Regards, Nicolas.
