Undocumented Improvements in AC15

Here is the beginning of a list of 'minor' fixes in AC15 that I was personally involved in. I hope that others may be able to add other undocumented improvements to it:

1. Mirroring text now mirrors the anchor point.
2. The Help menu search function is no longer case sensitive.
3. Fill Area Text's are transferable via the eyedropper/syringe.
4. Project North now accepts up to 4 decimals (when set in working units).
5. Right click on Layouts and Masters to edit their settings.
6. Module Save Options have a new display setting.
...

Cheers,
Link.

I'm not sure what the definition of 'undocumented' is, but I notice there are some changes to the GDL master window when you open up an object.

The main one is a new search box to help you locate a particular parameter name - a nice little addition especially as the list seems to get longer and longer as objects become more sophisticated.

It is documented, but not in the new feature guide:

Launch new instance of ArchiCAD when opening a project from the recent list or by dragging onto a running ArchiCAD:
Click this option to always start a new copy of ArchiCAD when you open a project from the “Recent list,” or drag a project file onto a running ArchiCAD.

OMG! I cannot tell you how much of a big deal this is for me. I download every available object from the depository, bimstop, cadimage, manufacturers ... wherever I can find but even though I have organised them into folders it is a pain to have to import the folder to inspect the contents properly
A small but very welcome feature

In the 3D window, the orbit command works again! If you select something, though, is reverts to the behavior of th last couple versions.

No more plotflow?! This makes me sad. How else do people plot PLT files?
