If Tim's ok with it getting out into the wild, or if he himself makes it generally available, I'd be happy to read it.
The above being said, I'm still frustratingly awaiting the day when all the tool pallets are resizable so that long layer names starting with the same first 30 characters can be left/right scrolled to differentiate which layer I'm looking at.
I'm still awaiting the day when clicking on a layer name in the layer filter or the CE or other places will draw a soft link or line to the geometry associated with it.
I'm still waiting for the day when it's possible to open two drawings in the same instance of Shark or two instances of it and locally (as a registered, laying user) and drag and drop grafts/subsets of layers/brances between drawings so I can organize and repurpose my own drawings without having to import them and end up with innumerable top layers that have to be removed manually.
I'm still waiting for the day when in the CE and Layer manager it's possible to regex or basic search-like way enter characters I think are in the names of layers I'm hunting or wanting to reorg, and they highlight and can be dragged en mass into a new arrangement.
I'm still waiting for the day it's possible to drag and drop geometry between files with or without their original layer names, but retain the associated foundational curves.
I'm still waiting for the day that Shark stops down-zooming my geometry when I menu/keyboard-shortcut switch between files, causing me to scream and curse the gods why this bizarre behavior needs to exist or wven got out of usability studies, wasting time and getting in the way of toggling between two files being compared.
I'm still waiting for the day when Shark srops collapsing all my layers in two open files solely because I toggled between them, and while mot only dealing with the app doen-zooming my views, I have to also battle with the app forcing be to become lost in where I was, scroll up and down the tree, and click on any one of many similarly-named branches, adding dozens of seconds to what should or could be 2 seconds per action.
I'm still waiting for the app to not scale and blow apart my arcs on propeller blades because I drag them from X=0m to X=150m, because for some reason I haven't figured out, the origin of the app and geometry seem to impose on the connectedness of the geometry.
I'm still waiting for the day when Shark will allow the user to manually reorg layers any way imaginable other than in a crazy circular reference or Mobius strip situation.
I'm still waiting for the day when the Layer Manager and Concept Explorer can be linked so that when the user has a hopelessly deep layer structure, a sort sub-task of pallet tear-off can temporarily hide/simplify the amount of digging, scrolling, and mental reorientation the user experiences.
I'm still waiting for the day the user can use geometry to instantiate a BOM that can be expanded by drafging new geometry or the branch of a nested layer over the BOM to reorganize the BOM, sort of like any vendor of choice spreadsheet or database app allows crosstab-like data reorg.
If all those kinds of severe irritations are resolved, that would make leaping to v15 all the more tantalizing.
The above graphical behavior has been dogging, hobbling, frustrating me as far back as v7 and year 2008.
If I could program, were charismatic, and won a Mega or Powerball, I could and would assemble a team and upend the world of CAD to get into the world of complex, crazy drawing detail, and of course still offer stand-alone versions of it. But, it can't program, and don't have hundreds of millions of dollars.
