Feature Request - Printable Comments
Something i've always wished we had was a way to convey information on a nesting patter that comes through onto the report drawing. I assume it would work in the following way, user draws something in 2d, makes it a specific colour on a specific layer

FEATURE REQUEST - Allow to escape when doing pick points.
A nice and simple addition would be the allow the user to press escape when doing pick points to cancel out of it. There is no way to stop pick points once it's started. If I have a formula in the prompt and accidentally double click it, I'm screwed.
FEATURE REQUEST - Separator Bar in Prompts/Wizard

FEATURE REQUEST: Add Machine Token UI to Edit Design Data
If you've ever worked in the spreadsheet (Edit Design Data) and needed to add a machine token, then you understand the frustration of not remembering what parameters 1-9 are for each token that exists. The spreadsheet is not user friendly when it comes
New Product Prompts
Is there a reason why we can't have the same 4 buttons for the Product Prompts that we have for Edit Design Data? I shouldn't have to check or uncheck when i want to redraw the product.
Feature Request: Dark Mode

FEATURE REQUEST: colored parentheses in formulas, similar to Excel
When inside a formula, Excel uses different colors on the parentheses to indicate which pieces of the formula belong together. This is very helpful when you have an invalid formula and need to figure out if you have missing parentheses. Excel Example:

Pilot hole diameter for screw construction and drawer slide holes
I feel like I am doing everything right but I am stumped on the these hole diameters. I have screw construction set up with dados and those holes are reading .2756 which isn't even a drill bit size we have or I have set it to. I want it to be 3mm actually. The other issue is the drawer slide pilot holes are showing 3mm when I have changed them to 5mm. Am I missing something here? Also to add, when I change those settings below to 3mm, neither set of pilot holes change even after I redraw them.

Best Practices for Mistakes?
I don't know if it's just because I'm new to, not just Microvellum, but drafting altogether, but I make a LOT of mistakes. Every other computer program I have ever used has Undo (at east enough undos to get you out of a bind). But since Undo doesn't seem
