If this is the case it is a wish I also have.

There are elements of the screen view that are better than the layouts.<BR /> <BR /> AC does a really good job with 3D/BIM, but is a laggard in creating 2D output that equals their success in the 3D areas. Numerous obsolete 2D CAD programs had marvelous text, dimensions, graphic detection of outlines, beautiful markers, etc. I often find myself manually overdrawing building outlines or adding dots to dimension markers to differentiate a center-line in an otherwise face of material string, etc, etc. <BR /> <BR /> It must be the nature of OOL programming that these things are non trivial. I would die for an AC version with stellar 2d output. Personally I would forgo three years of new features for 2D output that approached a 1980's vintage hand drawn set. I am a dreamer, stuck in a programmers world...

I'd love my sections to have clean air lines. Right now I've got big ugly lines wrapping all my framing. Boo!
