Future Consideration

TFS# 643625 has been filed on this issue.

Modernised Linestyle / Multiline Editor

Transfered from EAP Ideas list

1. More WYSIWYG.

  • Bigger better preview display.
    • Should reflect scale. 1:10? 1:500? What does it look like?
    • You should be able to orbit, zoom in/out.
    • There should be handles linked to the parameters settings.
    • The handles should be manipulatable in the preview window.
    • Tooltips showing the user what Symbols or Base Stroke pattern is where?
    • If the user clicks on a subcomponent or component, the corresponding element in the tree display should highlight, and vice versa.
  • The UI should be more tree based. Hard to tell what level or component you are working on. See above.
    • Base stroke pattern? Point symbols? Should not be hidden in another dailog to be opened and closed.
    • What is linked to what?

2. Integration with Multilines. Multilines parent Linestyles, there should be a consolidated Editor.

3. 3d elements: can be used as part of Linestyles. UI should reflect that. Preview window should support pan,zoom,orbit viewing operations.
