Are there any functions you want but not exist in your current CAD software?

[Derrick022]

Each software has its own advantages and i think everyone will come across some problems at work. So what will you do when your current software lacks the functions your want or are not powerful enough? To replace it with another software which has powerful such kind of functions but weak for other functions? Or combine the two software for using?

I often wrote myself Lisp routines to adapt AutoCAD to my needs. Some times I exported data in Excel and continued there. Also sometimes in the old times when I had data available in other format I imported them in Excel and I wrote Excel functions to generate AutoCAd script files. Running those scripts I got AutoCAD to draw me sprockets

For all the people who forget to save their base geometry when creating 3D solids and surfaces there should be an UN-UNION command. LOL

I think we attribute such an issue to "operator error". Best to set aside some down time and go through all your system defaults.

This almost sounds like an advertisement but it doesn't mention a product.

I would really like a neural interface so all I had to do was think. No keyboard, mouse, tablet...none of that stuff. Just have it read my thoughts. And a rechargeable robot to fetch sandwiches and drinks would be cool too.

or at least a full size drawing board or holodeck interface!

There was another thread going some time ago along this same line. I mentioned then that I thought a full size drawing board that was both input device and monitor would be cool. Have a few buttons on the sides and input with a stylus. I think that would be great..and faster than mouses or tablets by a long way.

I think it would be neat to have a HUD for parts of your display. Like showing objects outside of your viewports, your command line etc.

Everyone has his own request. But for myself, I try to adapt the current one since no product is perfect.
