Dispite commenting upon this so many numerous times, I still fail to understand why the 'Edit Object' box does not hold important attribute data for TEXT entities

Namely:
- font
- size
- style

Surely this makes sense ? If not, then why ?

The size could perhaps be in the top-bar too ?
Together perhaps with a 'make default' button for those who struggle with the unintuitive way that 'making default' is currently implemented

Jol,

We're internally discussing an alternative UI for pen, text, and dimension settings.

Yup, JL I know you've been advocating something along this line for a while:)

I vote for an "Inspector" like in Apples Pages program to better manage Pen, Text, Dimension, and more. You could combine many windows into one Inspector, and when needed you can have more than one Inspector open at the same time.

An Inspector could also combine Object Info, Snaps, Show/Hide, Explorer, BOM and more.

Could be very clean, intuitive and easy to use.

Yes, an "Inspector" is what I'm thinking as well.
