So far, I am not a fan of the new edrawings
I think we have lost too much & have gained very little:
Mark-ups:
Previously when mark-ups were present they would pop up on opening the file, now we will need to ensure they are opened by our personal
(Mark-ups are not visible when opening the file, You need do “look” for them)
Users can delete mark-ups not created by them
No font controls during markups
Adding mark-ups seem to be random where the mark-up falls into the tree
No improvements as we suggested for mark-ups: Can't hide any parts or rotate & maintain the mark-up
Can’t re-order mark-ups
Component Tree:
Users must search for the component list
The component tree no longer maintains the same layout as the SWX file, seems to be random, this is very important to maintain the layout of the SWX file
I see no way to lock the component tree on the screen
If I select a part on the screen, it does not dynamically highlight in the component tree, nor does it do the opposite, select from tree & highlights on the screen
Interface
Multiple sessions are not independent anymore; Seems to have issues when opened on a station with dual screens
Still no Undo Function?
Rotation of parts is still square to grid, not along entity
Options are all the same, no advancements
Can’t measure sketches
Still losing HLR edges when hiding & showing details
Nowhere does it tell you what file you have open
Configuration tabs, show an awkward view in the tab manager with the gradient background from the SWX session, we preferred the tab set-up as in 2014 & previous
No need to rush in the new interface if it's not ready
