Change bore machining diameter for woodbox drawer backs in the library or global settings.

'Library Issue' - Space added to the ends of drawer kit description

Lift up doors with regular hinges
I would like to use our regular 110deg Blum hinges for a lift up door. I see that there are many systems, but I can't find how to eliminate them (so I don't have the wrong machining), or change it to a regular full overlay hinge. Thanks!
Program Preventing Naming a Room with the same name as a Dwg within the Factory Database Directory
At some point the program started to check if there was already a Dwg within the on-disk Factory Database location by that name and prevent you from creating a room by that name. It never did this before. I figure this was obviously a change to the program

Highlight Token Column in Edit Design Data Spreadsheet View
It might not be a game-changing thing, but I spend a lot of time in the spreadsheet view and having to hunt and peck through the columns to find the token I need to edit is a pain in the neck. I took a few seconds to add a "highlight" color the token columns in workbook designer. Now, every time I have to go and tweak some little thing on a part, I'm not plowing through a thousand search results or scrolling left and right - squinting to see if I can find the bore or whatever token I was looking

Machine Token - Profile Panel Edge
A selected profile for The Machine Token, Profile Panel Edge, does not seem to update if you modify the profile and re-draw the part. I was making my own profile for a custom finger pull on a door. I used an existing MV profile as a starting point. I renamed the custom profile and re-drew the part and it worked, but the profile was not quite right. So I modified the profile, saved, and re-drew the part. The profile did not change. I checked the profile drawing and it was successfully modified. When
