As briefly discussed here:

It would be nice if there was an additional text property that you could assign to text using ANY justification.  In other words, place your text using the desired justification and in the Properties window, have "Fit" right in there along with Height, Rotation, Width Factor, etc.  The option would be yes or no, yes would then allow you to pick your two FIT points.

Ok, so you rubbed the lamp, and James Cannon popped out?

Other than supplying material for the things I wish I knew yesterday thread, is there any real point to this thread?  Seems like it is likely to get the exact same amount of development attention from Autodesk as me writing a list on a note pad.  Or am I missing something?

Why not!

That's the way I kind of see it, too.

I get your point, though.

"If a tree falls in the forest, but there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"

[Bob Wahr]

Yep, but the sound has no impact on anyone so discussing the sound is a completely pointless waste of effort.

[M-dub]

...completely pointless waste of effort.

I don't agree.

In many instances one persons WISH list item is a simple hole in their knowledge base.

Personally I WISH that all wish list directed at autodesk would take the form of:

please fix ( insert issue here) that has now been deficient for (insert number of versions here) versions.
infact it shouldn't be a wish list at all, it should be an Demand for Action list.   Or Fix these Active BUGS list.

I think it would be an interesting experiment for an outside party to keep track of some of these persistent issues that autodesk continues to fail to address version ofter version, after service pack, ad nauseam.....
