Not fully functional. Looking for feedback on the interface This command will replace the HT command in GCP7/S3D Upgraded Functionality: Layer Manager (LM) Buttons on the left side of the dialog Non-Printable layer button Layer Move button Undo Layer status change Note: Version control has been renamed to Incremental Save and is accessible thru AU (auto save), and a new checkbox in then DS dialog.

Text settings can be individually applied to words within the block, for instance a word can be bolded in the middle of a block
Support for perfect justification – similar to newspaper columns in addition to center, left, and right
As-you-type spell checking – misspelled words are underlined in red – right click over the words to correct

You can specify the minimum and maximum chord distance length of each arc to achieve the proper look
