I found this thread roughly ten minutes before making the post, and I found my need for this wishlist item about fifteen before that. If I posted that out of impatience, it would indeed be a serious personal problem.
Mentioning the time that has passed was not impatience. It was a defense of myself for bumping Ken's request for an update.
It's understandable that there will be triage at Autodesk, and that some wishlist items will take years. Is it also alright for us to ask for updates on items if a significant amount of time passes? I would think this would also be beneficial since it could help Autodesk to understand if some items are highly sought after.
Ken's request for an update had no response since February. It's reasonable to assume that the question was not going to be answered if it were left as it was.
If this functionality is coming in one or two upcoming versions of Revit, that's going to change several things for myself, and I assume others too. Out of curiosity, what was the correct course of action?
