when you want to modify a layers parameters or class attributes you have to go through dialog windows (1 or 2 depending if you go first in the organization window). make the change, then back to the drawing to see the change. If the line color dosen't look as nice as you thought for example you have to do it again.
It take time and make fine tuning difficult.
how it could be:
when you select a class or a layer in the navigation palette (and you have no object selected), the info palette will show all characteristics of the class or layer and you can make change there and see directly the modification in the drawing.
Arrows will allow to navigate through the class or layers.
In the organization window, it should be possible to make some change directly in the liste (pull down menus, editable values etc). a preview button could be nice.
