The improvements to 12.5 are great. The Plant Tool has improved again - the drop down box in the Mode Bar allowing Plant Selection quickly is very cool.
An improvement required - I think - Defined Plants that are 'stored' in the Mode Bar drop down list come from Plant Symbols.mcd in VW\Libraries\Defaults\Plants.
If a new Plant is defined in an active drawing we have to copy it back into Plant Symbols.mcd and save the changes for it to become available for future use. A work around is to have Plant Symbols.mcd open and create a new plant there, save the file and then it is available for not only the current drawing but for future use. This is cumbersome and time consuming.
What about an option when defining a new plant to be able to save it back into Plant Symbols.mcd as a choice?
