Some things small for the version 5 wish list

Hi,

First of all, is there an official wish list thread for version 5?

For now I have this small wish:

A dimension option to specify a specific color for dimensions that would not change the currently selected color but would simply use the color specified for dimensions. I see a number of options for dimensions but I don't see colors. Perhaps a different color for each type of dimension would be good.

And this wish:

An option to turn off the "both sides" after drawing the line. I am "forever" forgetting to uncheck that setting and end up drawing unintended lines.

And finally (for now):

More than once I have selected one object in a group, for copying, with a single click forgetting I need to double click. I end up copying the entire group rather than just the one object. The other day I single clicked the "one" object, did a control-C and then several control-Vs and inadvertently created many copies of the group. Perhaps an option to allow verification that copying the entire group was intended?

Thanks much.

Frederick

Hi Frederick,

There isn't an official one but there there is a previous thread here:

If you update the file Line.htm in the install's ui folder with this attached version that
should make the "Both sides" option to always be off when it starts.

I'll add a setting in the dimension presets (on Options > Dimensions) for controlling
which style will be assigned to a new dimension.

You can also use Ctrl+single click to select a child object instead of the group.

Update the file CopyClipboard.js in the install's commands folder with this attached version
and you should then get a warning dialog if you are copying an entire group.
