Microvellum Product Placement - Current Room vs Current File Warning

Just throwing this idea out there -

I'd love a feature where Microvellum would detect if you're placing a cabinet in a DWG that's not the current open room in Microvellum, and give a warning before placing it. For setups that use multiple rooms in one DWG or vice-versa, I imagine you could just disable/enable this in toolbox settings.

I've been training new users on Microvellum and this is one issue that's been recurring. They go back and forth between room files and forget to change the current room in Microvellum, leading to products that visually appear in a room, but are actually in a different room in the database. I understand this is useful for setups that use multiple rooms in a single DWG, but we don't do that.

I know it's not too hard to fix if it happens, and once you learn the difference between the open DWG and the open Microvellum room, it's just something you remember to do, but something like this would save a lot of confusion and help the learning process. Microvellum already checks if the open DWG is from the same project and gives you a warning if it's not, so I don't see why another check comparing the current room with the current open AutoCAD DWG wouldn't be possible.
