Yes, when weclick on "delete" I really want to delete the feature!!!!!
Whenwe want to leave a feature "incomplete" yeswe really want to leave a feature incomplete!!!!!
Yes, when I want to leave sketcher, I really want to leave sketcher and all the other "do you really want to's and we have tomouse click our way outwhatever we are trying to leave andthat we have to go thru, please give me an option to turn off all these annoying mouse clicks! i'm a veteren user and I know what I'm doing!
And I'm not even talking about the mouse travel!! Click on something and a window pops up ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN! Hello carpel tunnel ___

I was going to add to my rant:
Please don't bring up mapkeys--I have a ton of them.
Please don't talk about complaining or whining or its better than the competion or we are using it and all that n.......
If it can be improved--improve it! Give me an option to turn it off! I'll take my chances!
I was at a WF5 PTC demo and part of the sales pich was "decreased mouse travel".
The firstitem I tried was atool bar click and viola, the menu popped up on the far side of the screen, the farthest possible distance from where the mouse pointer was. I called it to the attention of the rep and of course the reply was -- not my department!!

As a ProE user for over 15 Years I totally agree with all of You. Sometimes I get the impression that I know more about the workings of ProE than the support people...
I'm working with one of the big ProE customers and even their pleas go unheard.
Let's face it: The main reason is, people at PTC sell software, they never have to use it. So, their concern is to create features which look great to managers who make the purchasing decisions (but also do not use the product).
And for the concentration on Windchill: unlike ProE it also sells man-months of consulting, which is much more profitable than writing software (as I would know, doing both of it myself...)
BTW: I remember CADDS4x and CV / Prime - their decreasing interest in their users made us change to ProE - yes, PTC were better once...

Uh....have you guys tried just holding down the Alt key? It stops the prehighlight and still allows a RMB Query / Pick from List.
