I have a few requests that I think would really help Stardraw. Also some of these items would help make things more quick and efficient and less dependent on other programs.
1. When importing a CAD Drawing, instead of having just a Black and White Button can we choose a color? I often have the need for a lighter gray so my overlays are more pronounced.
2. Cloud Line Tool for drawing clouds around changed/updated items. As of now I use Adobe and this is an issue cause if I have to make any changes to the drawing, I would have to redraw all my clouds.
3. Keyboard Short Cuts. Would live a short cut to switch between Lock and Select, Align to Grid Top/Middle Bottom, Scale, ETC
4. Title Blocks Automation, it would be great to fully update existing title blocks by a centralized point. I have a drawing right now with 32 Drawings and I had to manually go to each one and update the REV and Date. By deleting the existing title block and adding a new one can update the date and rev but then I would lose my floor, room name, drawing type, room numbers, and drawing number….
5. Better control of the Dimension Tool. By default those arrow heads are too small and I cannot make them bigger without making the line weight thicker. Also the end lines are too small. If I wanted to make them wider I have to manually do so and would have to copy paste that item for the rest of the drawing instead of using the Drawing Tool. Also would like the numerical measurement when a vertical line is drawn to NOT go through the line, it’s a real chore to make the value follow the line. I wouldn’t mind if there was a blank space in the line where the value would be present…. Also what about having a choice between decimal and fractions?
6. When drawing a box or a line and changing from a solid line to a dash doesn’t work that well. The dashed lines when printed look solid as the spacing of the dashes are too close (even in the program you need to zoom in to really see them). Not sure if this a scale issue or not but I’m not aware on how to fix this and get the same result every time. Maybe having control of the spacing of the dash would do the trick.
