>>>One of the things that I would like to work on for v3 is a deeper history function, that would chain together a deeper set of actions than the current history function.

Are there any plans for MoI to adapt the New "trend" of history Free/Direct Modeling approach ?
Will History Based Modeling be a thing of the past?
Or a combination of the two methods in a correct manner is the best solution?

If we look the market it seem to me almost everyone digs History Free, Direct Modeling. I mean CoCreate acquired by PTC (a company with Parametric in its name), SpaceClaim, Siemens Synchronous Technology Autodesk Inventor Fusion etc.
History Free, Direct Modeling it appears to be the best thing ever happened since I have been involved with Cad. The funny think is that the tech is always been there, just someone made the wrong call twenty year ago... But hey is here now and I think is the way to go IMO...
