Summary: I would like to see the 'Find' command enhanced
Description: The Find command is a very powerful tool, but could be greatly enhanced with the following additions:
1. The ability to keep the results and edit in the drawing without having to close CUI (which is standard for excel/word etc);
2. The ability to search multiple DWG files outside the file that is open, not just xrefs;
3. Numbering of results.
Product and Feature: AutoCAD - Text

I've been using Lee's Batch Find & Replace Text routine since I was only a padawan learner.
add the ability to find text strings within vertical product annotation, and it's a winner
PS -- fix the borked wildcard S&R!!!! yes, it works 'as designed'. but the design is borked

- Repeated FIND attempts should preserve the last used setting, i.e. look in Entire Drawing, Current Space/Layout or Selected Objects.
FIND was a very helpful with a current project and actually saved me from having to plot multiple paper copies to double-check my take-off and detailing of a number of components.
I fully support one wish but, to put it better, the FIND dialogue should be dismissable.Quote:
