I see where this has been asked before, but I would really like the old Draft Tools to be compiled to work with v8i. The new tools available under the detailing toolbar are so convoluted and require so much in the way of setup that for small jobs it's just not worth the trouble. The old draft tools was simple yet elegant in that it generated titles, section callouts, leaders it a very convenient package, with a simple configuration dialog to control the symbology. I can maybe see if I was working on a 50+ page project then the new system has it's merits, but all this work for really small projects is unbearable. I feel like now I've have to go back in time maybe 15 years to develop custom cells that will not perform nearly as well as the old Draft Tools. No developer is developing these types of crucial tools anymore either, so the simple drafting needs of every project has become so much more complicated.

All of the previously known "Drafting Tools" have either been moved or incorporated into other tools and toolbars. The following Wiki should help to explain what may have happened to these. communities.bentley.com/.../14717.drafting-tools-are-missing-in-msxm-br-d Bentley do not have any plans on introducing obsolete tools back into our software when they have been replaced with more advanced tools.
