A few "buggy" things:
Autoscroll does not work with PC7 freehand tool or WT8 freehand brush.
Can not zoom in while rotating. (Select rotation center and then zoom-in to snap precisely to a small point in the drawing; VERY annoying) BTW, I just use 1, 2, or 3 for zooming now...
Snaps don't work when using freehand or sketch tools. When beginning to sketch with a snap is ok but when trying to finish the line and try to snap to a point (E,V,I) it doesn't work.
PC7 Offset dialog (line or polygon) box has a bug. when selecting a digit (part of a mutiple digit number) with the mouse, the cursor "jumps" to the far left. say you have an offset of 1244.5 inches and want to edit 1144.75, if a select the 2 first and edit it, the cursor jumps to the far left, forcing me to just select the whole number and re-typing it.

Roberto,

Just checked it here and autoscrolling does work with the WT Freehand tool and Brush tool in SketchTools. While it's true that the PC7 Freehand tool does not autoscroll, I don't really see that as a real bug because you can't possibly want to draw the shape that you get when it does autoscroll. So while I have it in the tools of WildTools, I think you'll be much happier not depending on it.

And snaps work with all tools. It is true that with the Freehand and SketchTools, automatic snapping it turned off for these tools because if this were not the case, the tools wouldn't really be any good for sketching, but you can always ask for a snap with any of the tools.

And you can zoom in and out when using the WildTools Rotate tool and almost every other tool in WildTools. Any you have many options on how to zoom while using a tool, from all of the normal command keys, to Zoomer to scroll wheel zooming.

Alfred
