I would like to see Blue Symbols insert properly when you have non-symbol geometry saved in there. Right now any 3d-only geometry inside of a Blue Symbol is lost when inserted in plan view, and any 2d geometry is lost if inserted when working in wireframe or other 3d views. As well, I would like to make sure that 2d geometry inside the symbol can be inserted on to the layer plane instead of the screen plane. Hybrid symbols inside the Blue Symbols work fine, it's just the 2d- and 3d-only geometry I try to store inside (like locus points). It has gotten to the point where I've resorted to creating hybrid symbols that have a 2d and 3d locus on top of each other just so I can have a centered working handle when I insert the group. It seems silly.
This is something that is really starting to bug me. I am trying to build a library of banquet seating layouts, but my 2d spacing geometry will only insert to the screen plane. And any "extra" 3d geometry I try to have in the symbol does not work unless it itself is a hybrid symbol.
I am assuming inserting a Blue Symbol involves a process akin to the "convert to group" command, which strips the geometry you are not looking at (2d or 3d). Unfortunately I would like to be able to have different 2d and 3d information in these libraries that I can not easily have right now.
