Data bar

[vsd]

If possible, a shortcut to access directly the "L" (length) value of the Display Databar would be a great improvement for objects or actions supporting this, like moves on axis extensions lines, line objects, text blocks....

Alternatively, the said "L" field could go to the first position.

As of today, the first 2 fields are the X and Y coordinates. Followed by the length "L".

It means that one has to PRESS TAB 3 TIMES, in order to access the length.

It is quite seldom that one needs to manipulate the X,Y values (in all my VW years I never did it once). While one continuously uses the Length value.

If such a shortcut already exists, please accept my apologizes and tell me what it is.

There is no way to change this. Just my two cents, I use the X and Y fields much more than the length field.

A shortcut would be no big hassle. Those are fields like any other. Any field can be given internally a shortcut.

If many users find the x,y useful, I guess swapping that wouldn't be a solution.

Since many things in VW are customizable, why not wish for being able to set the field order of the Data Display Bar? Much worse things have been wished for over the years...

Yes. But you have Reshaper, which makes such wishes needless. Reshaper is the only solution to fast editing in many many cases. I love it. But the people in my office don't have it. And I cannot convince them to buy it.

A lot of money they'll give out in lost time.

P.S.

You "are" Reshaper, is better.
