PROJECT COOPER - seems familiar?

Fantastic!
Downloaded it , installed it, tried it for 10 minutes and loved it.
A very useful 2D CAD solution.In order to 'really' be used in an architectural environment, following features are lacking though:
-
import of DWG/DXF.:
For quick sketch work in design phase, one should be able to import the 2D site/terrain file etc.... -
more line options:
double lines for walls etc... -
more direct editing
for instance: double clicking the value of a dimension line should enable changing to a custom value etc... -
Get rid of 'revit like' editing
Instead of the rotation gizmo , hovering above points could trigger scale/rotate/stretch handles as in Layout + provide short cut key combos. Much faster, much easier. etc... -
VCB for entering values on the fly
as in Sketchup
All in all, a very pleasing new product with a lot of potential. Most of all, it is fun!
Could well become the 'Sketchup for 2D'....unless Google would develop Layout to be a true 2D CAD solution (save as DWG etc...)...
The current downside of Layout is that you can't save as a CAD file, only as an image.

Funny, cause I am running it on a 64 bit system (Vista Business x64)....and it works without even entering compatibility mode.
