My suggestion is to improve the mirror command.

In addition to the options that I posted in this thread: http://forum.punchcad.com/showthread.php?t=1653


I would also change the mirror command options so that xy, yz or zx uses the work coord. system, not the absolute coord. system. Or, since you only have one coord. system in ViaCAD, make it so that you can move and rotate it.

Then you can eliminate a mouse pick. You only have to pick the plane, and then entry complete.

Yes please, I use this command a lot and I'd really like to see the coordinates of the "mirror line" displayed somewhere.
On a complex construction, I may click a bad point and there is no way to check.
(not talking of simple x,y or z lines...)

It doesn't get any easier than this, and you don't have to change any snaps, or draw any construction lines... :)
