FEATURE REQUEST: Check if W.O. is currently open before creating new W.O. of the same name
If you have a work order already open and then attempt to create a W.O. with the same name as the open one, it freezes MV. Can there be a validation that won't allow it to make the attempt if you are in a W.O. of the same name? That way, it could hopefully"Primary Tool File"

There are several ways I can imagine going about creating and allocating "extruded hardware" using cut parts, solid stock, hardware parts, molding, profiles, or some combination of any of those.

When you create a new product using Solid Model Analyzer, all the parts go into a blank spreadsheet that has only Height, Width and Depth. If you are a shop using formula driven materials that require local prompts to get the material information from, these new products do not work correctly. Can we get the ability to customize the spreadsheet that SMA uses by default for new items? This opens the door to many possibilities including having default draw tokens at the ready.
