Constraints more clearly visible in the family editor

[Revit Wishes]

Summary: I wish that constraints were more clearly visible in the family editor. For instance, dimensions that are locked could appear a different color than those that aren't locked. That way you wouldn't have to click on each one to find out. And there could be a check box that would show wherever a line was aligned and locked to a reference plane. It would be great if you could right click on the padlock and whichever items that lock is referring to would turn a different color!

How Used: This tool would be most helpful when trying to edit a family that someone else built. I often end up rebuilding content that someone else built simply because it's easier than deciphering someone else's work process.
