I have discovered two things the past few days that have made me frown a little bit. Now PLEASE don’t get me wrong. I am not discounting the hard work of anyone at Autodesk and I am not saying that either of these two issues are nearly as significant as the incredible gains made by Civil 3D 2008. I only temporarily threatened to quit the business when I found them (joke). In fact, based on some conversations with folks at the ‘desk, I am pretty sure that both of these issues came up because of some improvements made in 2008.
I am hoping that posting about them will generate some interest in making them work for a future release or service pack.
