I spent some time making this list (some from this forum)
1 enhance top down design (I could make a page here alone)
a. snap to a coordinate system b. allow for a publishing of geometry . . .
2 let use of 3d curve for curve projections onto a surface
3 not group curves and reorder them into a surface. (I don't think there is a need for this)
4 let one boundary of a surface (boundary surface or rail) select across a tangency edge of another surface trim.
5 I wish I could modify a variable to a negative number. Absolute Value was explained to me when I was 4 years old.
6
automatic dimensioning. Especially an intent manager that can learn a
little. Maybe it can remember how I dimension things because I am very
picky on how I dimension for plastic parts or for proving form for ID
7 marker menus like Alias Studio. Fully customizable.
8 drag sketch outside as a feature (not just in an unconstrained sketch)
9
CAD data translation more better than ever before... plus I want more
power to tear stuff up inside iges and step data and to also be able to
rebuild inside there.
10 Convenient way of closing a sketcher mode than clicking on the icon.
11
the double regen when you have equations is most frustrating.
Especially since almost always prove form by exercise my underlying
curve geometry. SW will not let you drag curves if they have dimension
on em. Nor will it let you drag curves outside of the sketch.
12 Formula editor/manager with conditional selection of parameters.
Area: User-interface>message/errors
Problem: Render to file dialog
Solution Ideas: "Please make it possible to disable the "render to file completed" dialog.
Area: Photoworks>materials
Problem: Studio plastic
Solution
Ideas: Please fix the studio plastic material to work correcly with
indirect illumination. Right now, the shadows are not correct and the
material is not transparent. This makes it impossible to make a render
with indirect illumination and a transparent floor which displays only
the shadows.
Area: Graphic>edges
Problem: Display tangent edges as font
Solution:
Please make the tangent edges customizamble. Right now the only options
are visible, phantom or removed. I'd like to be able to use any font.
