Feature Requests! - 05/23/20 07:26 PM

Hello!

I've been using CAESAR 2 every day for ten years now. I have three simple feature requests:

1) For the love of all things holy, please stop making "Reset View" default to enabled. WHY? Why would you want to reset your view every time you type a single number? Please turn this off.

2) C2 warns that some nodes aren't attached.... so clearly you know which nodes they are. Can you tell me so I can find them?

3) If you type some random gibberish into a CNode field of a support, even if the node doesn't exist at all, it will still compute. PLEASE WARN if CNodes are nodes that don't even exist in the model!

1) I think I would like a "zoom to selection on change" option.

2) CAESAR does, in more recent versions, when you click on the global coordinates tool. It shades disconnected nodes green.

3) This one is a little more tricky, I guess. You can apply a displacement to a CNODE that's not in use in the model, so it'd be more complicated than to check just the nodes being used. I agree a warning couldn't hurt.

Ben,

What version are you running?
