AECOsim CE - Functionality - ACS and Member Placement

I can understand, while I don't agree, with the interface changes, but I would prefer to see more effort placed into the functionality of the tools. One example of this is to have the place column tool work together with the ACS rather than having to rotate the member separately. This has been an SR for some time.

    CR: Interactive Rotation and Accuracy

    Details :
    I have tested this from 2004 to V8i and they all do the same. I have anumber of users that change their accuracy to 1 decimal place. Lately I have noticed a differnce when they model to how I model inrotated planes using the Interactive feature to set memberrotation. After some playing around Ive found that the issue seems tobe that the Interactive tool rounds the angle to the accuracy set. So if I have an angle of 15.675 then the member angler ischanged to 15.7. I dont know any other tool in MS that does this, can we PLEASE get it fixed as it has created a nightmare for me.

    Thanks,
