DavidJ and friends,
I only say this statement because when I want a tool that a program really needs, Many tell me that this program will never have it, being professional or expert!
Properties section area for example is very important and should not be put aside. It is not something difficult to achieve I think. If it is achieved, it will be an immense leap like the 3D
points that, thanks to my suggestions, were achieved as they were, and thus many potential clients will see it as a useful program because the workspaces are conceptually very well executed. Why was
Motion removed when it was fantastic? It's also another example of what I'm saying. AD is not just for hobbyists, it is for professionals who want to emerge and are not at the mercy of larges consortium. There must be some alternative between freecad and the others. Look, if you see my link, you will see that I keep writing the improvements that I think are necessary and not difficult to achieve:
Alibre Design Future Improvements: 1. - Main open office Spreadsheet (Excel) able to be linked to entire model assembly, sub assemblies and parts with ability to be update all design automatically. 2. - Project to Sketch for assembly, sub assemblies and parts: To have a new Inter designs project...

I don't want to forget AD and see other alternatives because I still think about its potential.
Regards,
GIOV
