Toggle switch "On/Off" function for the entity auto drawing switch function

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE !!!!!

Offer a Toggle button to turn off the auto locate function when clicking on the drawing entities in different windows on screens. Yes, the function works as intended and is great. "BUT, it's not always wanted!" When I set up my screens for viewing the drawings the way I need them, they need to stay that way. ( unless I turn the function back on with a potential new toggle button in tools )

When I have windows set up all over my screens with the multiple page function for navigating thru the set of drawings, its very, "VERY" irritating to have this automatic function on because it messes up my location within the set. Every single click on a different drawing within the window I'm in takes me to the takeoff on the drawing. Or, in other words if my Materials list is detached and on my secondary screen, every time I click between screens the auto function kicks in and takes me to the takeoff on the drawing where the counts/measurements are or takes me to the Material list where the item is. This messes up my position within the set of drawings. Then I have to scroll back to the drawing I was on. In a large set of drawings this makes the process very irritatingly tedious and unnecessary. I have to spend more time doing a takeoff than I should because of this function not having a turn off feature.

If my description here is not clear for my suggestion, please have someone email me or call me and let's connect screens and I'll show you exactly what I'm speaking off as It is difficult to explain in words only. "A PICTURE IS WORTH A 1,000 WORDS"

My thoughts are, I'm not the only one that would appreciate this new "toggle switch" tool button.

Sincerely

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions

Add Folders for Studio Sessions!

Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
