The possibility to work with ALL colours in the pen set

As an architect I find it frustrating having to do a lot of post-production work after I draw in Archicad. If we were allowed larger and easier customisable sets of pen (like in Autocad) it would make a great chunk of the architect population happier I think.

Let's face it, when you submit drawing for competition the last think you want is to end up with drawings as anyone else. I know this may not be a problem for engineers but I feel that for architects it is, as we care more about visual communicatio.

Can you give a precise description of something you want to do but find that you cannot? Your whinge doesn't really tell me what you need... Give an example.

This is the same "amount" that Autocad has though in AC they are easier to modify and assign.

When a shaded view is pasted to Plan or so....the fills get the RGB pens...
But such pens are not user selectable but they are there...hidden
