User Defined Project Properties

I'd like to see Microvellum add more functionality to the drafting side of things in regards to the automation of the title block and the contact tables that are available.

There seems to be an issue with pulling data from the contacts tables through UDPP. It appears that some data is not accessible.  

Specifically, contact data other than a name will not pull any information other than the contact name if they are listed under a company. If I have a job superintendent that i'm putting on shop drawings for easy access to contact info and they are a contact with a phone number, I should be able to pull that as well.

There also doesn't appear to be any separation between the different types of contacts when you click on the contact fields in the Project Properties, why have categories if I still have to sift through a list of Architects and GC's all together?

Also, how about a better way to put in several UDPP's at a time, either through a copy feature or some type of import that I can setup in an excel file.  There are lots of times when setting up a new template that I am changing an atttibute number reference, all the rest of the attribute is the same. 

Tabs maybe in the UDPP popup that we can setup to better organize how we enter valuable project info.

Perhaps the flexibility is there, and I'm just not trained enough on it. I've searched the KB and havn't found any documentation beyond the simple single creation of fields and how they link to the attributes in blocks.

More flexibility would be great, this feature has the potential to be great.

Thanks for hearing me out.
