The Difficulty of No "Undo"
Please tell me there is SOME work-around to this. We learned in training that you should never "undo" in MV. OK, so surely there is some failsafe for human error, right? Today I went to erase what I thought was a part I added to a cabinet. I've been working

Unacceptably long wait time for tech support

MV_Undo or Restore Product from Drawing

[Feature Request] EQ Functions working for 2D drawing tokens
Currently EQ functions don't work for drawing tokens like they do with parts. When needing to draw additional 2D to accompany those parts however, that gets obnoxious, since by definition EQ functions are an infinite array & drawing tokens aren't.
