SEND TO is EVIL

SEND TO is EVIL

SEND TO is EVIL

(OP)
  I can't count the times I'm gunning for PROPERTIES & I hit SEND TO! Then I have to wait for all these files to get bundled up. It's like getting stuck in traffic behind Granny Bluehair banghead

I want SEND TO to go away for good. How can I make this happen?

You can add items too.  I recommend that really cool feature called "Send To..." that allows you to email your files to others directly.

I made a keyboard hotkey for properties since I go there often.  Very quick now.

John,

That's what I've done.  F2 on mine.  Also made a customer properties editor for specific properties that are required to fill out our drawing template fields.  Lots of people do this.  For me, this is the cleanest method cuz the user only sees what they immediately need to affect to fill out their drawing.
