Here's an example of some consumer design.

And the lounge might be used to discuss annoying quirks in such an area. Here's my list of annoyances: Some of these may be a result of being a beginner and not understanding the program.

(1) After making a primitive, I often get a second (and sometimes third) primitive while entering size dimensions because I forget to select the pointer before entering dimensions.

(2) Inability to measure out my part without using the explode curve command.

(3) 2-point circle (both points on diameter) doesn't use the first selected point as the non-moving point when dimensioning a size for the circle; it uses the center, so the first point wanders.

(4) No extend tool? Must I create a line beyond what I want and use the corner trim tool, then the regular trim?

(5) I keep thinking Esc should get me a pointer tool and deactivate whatever tool is currently in use like other programs, and when I start pointing around, damage happens (but easily undoable).

(6) Can't save layer view-state.

Now we're talking...or sometime anyway.

Yep - that'd make a big difference - even if it's just common routines like faceting etc that get multitask aware to begin with
