I have 2 questions:
1) Why are Distribution Amps not available as normal device symbols?
I have had to fight Connect CAD - to the point of creating a new device from scratch in the "none" category and deleting the version in the DA category - to get my Ross 8705A OpenGear DAs to show up as boxes in the schematic display. Having them as rectangular symbols, with the port layout set up to mimic the actual connector layout, is extremely helpful when troubleshooting a device whose real-life port labels are hidden by connectors!
2) Why can't we specify a starting number for a series of ports in Device Builder, or at least save a device with a numbering scheme other than the standard one?
On the 8705A, there are 8 outputs - 4 per side - and, as aforementioned, it's really helpful to have them laid out as they are in the real world. ConnectCAD insists on numbering this layout 1-4 and 1-4, which means I have to manually re-number them and then copy/paste the corrected version as I place additional 8705As, because Device Builder won't save my numbering. This also would be very helpful when setting up large patch bay banks leading into and out of a video router, because the router I/O number that's connected to a patch point is a lot more important than the patch point's number within its bay.
