Bentley should be paying you a consulting fee, because you've done the homework for them. Jeff, you're a think tank of ideas. These solutions are exactly what would make my life much easier. You've spelled out exact solutions to what us shop drawing creator's have to use work arounds for. So why settle for work arounds when solution ideas are right here. I'm not saying programing them into the next AECOsim version would be easy, I'm no programmer, but these are worthwhile solutions to annotation issues that I'm sure many people have. Annotated information such as pipe/duct sizes, pipe type (minimized for clarity) and coordinated pipe/duct elevations are probably 75% of the value of creating shop drawings. We don't really want the current annotation methods taking 75% of the time, with all of the clean up and work arounds, when we know some of these solutions are possible. Any additional tools that give us more control of how to create the annotation information, the more likely we can get them to kick out the right information with an appropriate amount of user friendly ease.
