Recently our office switched to AC9.
The first thing that stunned me was the new way the Text Tool worked -the text I wanted to type was entered in a Text Editor Window!?!
Dear Graphisoft Development Team, typing text in a separate window within a CAD application is ARCHAIC, OUT-OF-DATE and CLUMSY! This is the way AutoCAD handles text! And even it gives a choice between typing in a text editing window or directrly in the drawing field!
Typing directly in the drawing field was one of the key features that defined AC as a modern CAD application. This feature was characteristic for advanced design and text editing applications like Corel Draw or Photoshop or Illustrator! This was the feature I used to point out to AutoCAD users when I convinced them AC was the better application! And it really impressed them!
I want the old way of typing BACK!
I can go on without Tabs and other formatting tricks because I am an Architect and I spend most of the time drawing , not writing fiction with Paragraphs and Chapters!
I really hope that the other tools are not spoiled in this way!
