Can Anyone Explain MV's Reasoning for Prompt Paths?
As a fairly new user, one thing I'm still having a hard time with is that there are multiple menus to make changes to just about any single Part. Why isn't there a central location to effect all aspects of a part? For example, when I'm working on a drawer

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.

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
