As a new user, I am stunned by how good AC3D is, and how easy it is to use.

I am using the OSX version, which works perfectly on MacOS 10.4.2. Three minor improvements to the interface would improve its usefulness for me:

1. The properties fields on the left hand side are too small, so I can't see the whole figure without clicking on the field and walking the cursor up and down. This may only affect the OSX version. I would be grateful for larger fields, or an option to stretch the entire panel wider.

2. I am tracing from background images. I like the fact that it holds settings (magnification, position) within the session. It would be even better if it could store settings between sessions.

3. Currently, movement and maginification of the background image is by cursor keys. It would be helpful to be able to enter co-ordinates and scale along axes.

Many thanks!
