Tool and Attribute Pallets were part of the drawing window and fixed location. When you made it full screen, everything would be present and not covering something else.

- have a way to assign a key command to bring up a dialog box for inputting the nudge amount. If I recall correctly, this was possibly up through Powercadd 4.0
- an updated .dwg translator
- read multi-page pdfs and allow the user to select which one is to be imported

" Hey PowerCadd... change to a 3 foot 6 inch door"
"Hey PowerCadd... line tool"
Get the idea?

…be scriptable.

It would be great if I could set a macro that could…
select all text; change font; change line spacing
or- change active layer; select all lines; change line thickness; change line colours
etc

Something like this would be great for importing DWGs and making repetitive changes.
