Minor but annoying - easy improvements?

Why on earth should i select a particular tab in the ribbon first to be able to modify an entity on a drawing?

This adds to the amount of clicks you should do when working on the drawing... and holding "Ctrl" while you select an entity (view, dimensions, table etc.) does not help because it allows you only to select the entity, but does not allow you to change it until you select the particular tab in the ribbon.

I get the feeling that PTC is going completely backwards on this one: instead of automatically selecting the appropriate tab in the ribbon (like in MS Word) when you select an entity, they ask you to select the appropriate tab first so you can work with the particular entity.

This is very counterproductive and frustrating!

Previews, like in the Expand feature, should not happen until after I have entered a value. There's no need to generate previews of Pro/E's assumptions that obviously won't work. It won't even let you stop the calculations until after it's finished it's own preview.

When using Creo 1.0 and editing a feature, add to right mouse click "OK" & "Cancel" the same as when editing a sketch.

This would be very useful when the ribbon is minimized for you would not have to expand the ribbon to confirm the command.

One of the biggest issues I have is with the mirrored features and not being allowed to add or change references. This is a big time waster deleting mirrored features and fixing all the downstream geometry.

How about having the ability to toggle colors of a part or even directly have multiple colored parts of the same geometry. There are numerous places this would be benificial.

How about a config option to locate the Sketch set-up dialog box on the left side of the screen where all the other commands/dash boards are?

If there is going to be action/object and object/action ways to model, then provide ways to do ALL features like this.It is very annoying and misleading to have greyed out commands just because you have not selected the appropriate geometry first.

Probably not a minor change, but will Pro/E (Creo) ever be able to shell and give you the option to create square corners when the radius is smaller and the wall thickness. This also applies to the small surfaces that limit shelling.

Select "window" in dwg mode for "using edges".

Confim, not cancel, repeat component placement with middle mouse button.

In assembly mode when you are adding a constraints...that box is locked in place and covers up constraints Iwant to select...GRRRRRR

When renaming an assembly family table the first part of all instance names (the parent part name or number) should rename automatically. I can't think of many cases where these would be associated to the previous part number instead of the new one.

• Adjust the behaviour of View -> Display Settings -> Visibilities (the closest thing we have to a dynamic cross-section) so that the actual model extents are close to 0% and 100%. At the moment, a typical model doesn't start to be clipped until 40-45%, and extends only to 55-60%, which means that each 1% increment is a large step in model depth, and it's difficult to close in on particular details. This is a very useful tool - we have it on a mapkey - but it could be just that bit better.
• Add a proper dynamic cross-section, parallel to any plane rather than just the screen...

The drawing MIL SPEC specifies 2 differnt size texts for Draing notes and text in the tables. PTC only has 1 config for default text size so either: You always have to change the charachteristic of your font in the each box of the table OR you have to always change the size of the notes on the drawing. If you had 2 configs for text attributes you couold eliminate all of thus combersone work.
