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

Starter Spreadsheet For Solid Modeling
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.
