Wish List - Section Default Options

The current default setting for the "Draw Product Sections" command is set approximately to the centerline of the product. Speaking for myself, more often than not, the default section location is problematic. I have to type in the “Distance in X From Product Origin to Cutting Plane” each time and have to spend time to determine where that should be. It may only take a short time to accomplish, but when you add up all the time spent on the multiple sections I do for each project it adds up fast. I have been told by one of the Microvellum Technicians that the default setting is deeply embedded into the base programming of Microvellum Toolbox itself and not something that can be adjusted.

 

I would like to see one of the following options:

 1.       Okay: Microvellum Programmers change the default position a couple inches left or right of center. This might create more issues for other users than those it would help.

2.       Good: Add a button on the Options Drafting Tab to allow users to change the default position.

3.       Better: Add a button on the Product Sections Splash Screen to allow users to change the default position, keeping the original Distance input for item specific instances.

4.       Best: Add a button to the Global Variables, Job Setup Variables Tab, Shop Drawings\2D Product Sections to allow users to change the default position with the ability to create a function to determine the location.

 

I know that any of these changes would make it easier for my team and speed up my drawing process. Please make this happen.
