Undocumented Improvements in AC15

[Link]

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.

If you have say Chair 1 14 in AC14, it should automatically switch to Chair 1 15 when migrated. Link.

It has been working fine with my plans, and I am always opening old pln's… HOWEVER, there is one significant bug if you link those objects to Property Objects that link is gone. So, if you run a list and forget to re-link it to the 15 object, you will have errors. That could be trouble if you run material list and are not careful.

One can insert the new variable (parameter) not only the end of the list of the variables but before the selected variable.

When a new version comes out I always like to go to the Work Environment Dialog, go to the Command Layout Schemes\Menus page, and set the "All new commands in alphabetical order" in the List field.
That always gives me clues to some hidden new stuff.
It also includes older commands or options which now received a keyboard shortcut (like Offset and Multiple Offset constraints in AC15).

Not sure if this is UNDOCUMENTED or if it's even NEW to 15...

In the INDEX settings.. you can now choose SUBSET ID and/or NAME!..

Nice to create heading for the different plans based on your SUBSET organization..

Oh, and the FRAME (around text blocks) Dimension can now be entered without having to turn on frames first...

It's friday and I'm easily amused!

Not sure is this new to 15 or not.
Now that the Layout page allowed you to enter the page no and it will bring you straight to that page.
Is quicker than double click on the layout page
