This is not much to go on, but basis my experience with FoxCAE 3.X, FoxCAE is way too complicated and non-intuitive for an occasional user. I suggest some of the focus points to be: 1. Provide a menu interface that is intuitive for back documentation and provide very good instructions. Provide an interface for the occasional user who does not have a lot of time to try to re-learn the software every time they want to use it. The manual also needs to be geared for quick self learning for someone is knowledgeable about Foxboro I/A. At least for back documentation, it is very difficult to read the manual and learn how to do it - even when you did it a year ago. This is especially true when you want to arrange how the blocks look on a page and which blocks are grouped together on a page. 2. In the past, when trying to figure out how to back document, the software did not seem very forgiving and flexible in trying different groupings of blocks on a page. It seemed like once a grouping was picked, that was it, there was no easy way to go back. 3. This capability may exist in the 4.x version, but concerning back documentation, it needs to be easy to show the value of any desired parameter, not just those that have a connection. Besides a default for the block type, it should also be easy to show the value of parameters on a block-by-block basis. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Foxboro Company.
