Things I'd like to see in Draft

[beachcomber]

Just doing some drawings in ST2 and there are some changes I'd like to see to make things a bit easier - mainly from the drawing view Options menu.
1. A use (not before time) for the Description text - why can't this be added below the view name/scale text with its own text size.
2. Set the 'Rotation angle' from the Edge bar, as you can for scale.
3. Toggle drawing view border on/off from the edge bar.
4. Toggle broken-out section view profiles on/off from edge bar
5. Select/check/match configuration available in edge bar.

Having to go into view properties takes quite a long time for big assemblies, and should not be necessary for the above options.

Could we also please get rid of the value box that comes up when you click a dimension - I can't see the point in draft and it just takes the focus. It doesn't do it in traditional part sketches so why in draft?

Have any of these things changed with ST3?

...and 6) change the sheet number of the view from the edge bar

7) optionally control the orientation of the view (top, side) separately from the configuration.

HDS -
That applies to model views.
Saved view configurations can be any orientation.
It would be nice to be able to change an existing view orientation instead of having to create a new one.
I just had to turn a big assembly model through 90° to get it in the correct orentation and it completely screwed up the drawing I'd started.

Can we please have the text visible when dragging section and detail view labels etc, instead of just a small square.

I would like to see the list of changes after a draft is updated include changes to the LOM or other tables. This is more useful than knowing a balloon moved.

Could we also have the option to move the view commands from the bottom right corner - I'm fed up of the print notification covering them.

I would like to see that the partlist could be generated only with parts that com from a "display configurations"
