​

> Card Names now appear on DWG Trace Reports

​

> There is now a "Multiple" option on the search window.   When selected, a dialog will pop up that accepts multiple search terms. A list of Object IDs can also be typed or pasted into the dialog. On OK, the    search function will find and mark all locations that meet the search criteria. You can then right-click on the search results window, and click "Find Object" to zoom to the selected location. Note that after the last ID, you need to press Enter to move the cursor below the last entry. Otherwise, the last ID will not be searched. In other words, before pressing OK, make sure your cursor in the dialog, is below the last   ID.
