Well, myself, I think they should add a POLYGON type feature, you know, for a feature that has any number of equal size sides. You tell it how many sides and it will then do the rest. Don't limit it to a 6-sided feature.

Now that's an idea . . .

The reason I voted NO was because I do not want them to add yet another limited feature. If they are going to add a feature, make it the polygon type feature. I have had 5-sided holes before, they are just as much a problem as the 6 sided is. However, if they add the polygon, then it would cover every equal-size sided hole that can be thrown at you, not just a 6.

I agree with Matt, that would be a handy feature. You may not use it alot but it would be nice if you had it.

Sort of like BEER. Sure is handy to have around, even if you can't, at the moment, have one.

(gee, didn't take me long to get BEER in the mix, did it?

Well, yes, I like the idea of a multi type feature myself, but the idea here is to get Hexagon to get off their bottom ends and create some additional features.

I voted yes, because I know you have the basic idea. And Matt, why cant you have beer all the time?

Well, the cops get a little cranky about it when you are doing 90 down the interstate.

And, it is always good o have one beer as opposed to no beer............

Oh, I voted yes prior to reading and thinking.....or letting Matt do my thinking... that usually works best for me.
