OK, not a new user to Autodesk products but, a new user to 3DS Max.

I'm going through the videos on startup and I'm noticing a few things.

Initial observations include:

The Arc Rotate command - Alt and Middle mouse button?? Why can't this be consistent with other Autodesk products and be the Shift and middle mouse button?

Command Panels - Aren't these the same as tool palettes?? They're laid out differently but, why not stick with one format across the board.

Create Objects - Most of this can be done with basic Autocad. Is it really necessary to have a complete different layout than the command/tool palette we already use in Autocad based products? The up and down arrows to change the height is nice but, most people want to put a distance. They're nice to have to just throw your design out there I guess. Why not put these arrows in the properties tool palette on autocad based products?

Wow, by the 5th video, you're working with modifiers and gizmos! :O

OK, that's a start, more to come I'm sure..
