I suggest that the top and left position of an object is shown in the 'Object Properties'

Good call on text wrapping. I'd love to have text wrap also. Is it possible to be able to choose font sizes vs having to use the predetermined sizes? If not, it would be an important one on my wishlist.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not?

But please please add a Table tool so that you can create a table on a page & select how many rows & columns.

How about this:

A WYSISYG program that will create web/tablet/mobile friendly sites using the latest HTMLX specs, abilty to single-click tags for social networking sites, place anything anywhere and have text align with the objects intuitively, have non-standard fonts rendered into graphics, placeholders for things like dropdown menus from AllWebMenus or other third party sw - in other words, a real web site builder for today and into tormorrow. For that, I'm willing to spend some money.

I'd like to see Master Template pages. While copy-paste functionality is useful for small web sites with basic/simple changes, it doesn't really relieve the pain of updating multiple pages for a large site. Providing a Master Template capability would allow a single page change, and every page that references that Master would automatically inherit the change.

To really be useful, each page should be able to assign which Master Template it references in case you have different styles, types of pages or areas on your web site.

This will be especially useful as sites expand and get "old" over time. The fastest way to give the site a refresh is with a Master Template approach. While a major web site overhaul might still require touching every page, for simple stuff, say moving menus around or changing some text or images that appear on every page, having to edit each page individually seems a bit insane.

There are competing products that offer Master Template functionality but I like how VSD works and I don't know if those other systems have all the functionality I've come to appreciate in VSD. What do you say? Seems like a huge productivity tool.

1. Ability to lock an object.

2. Ability to align center.

Ability to "lock" the grid. The grid is useful for positioning items but frequently whn I make a selection I inadvertently grab one of the grid lines and move that instead. The grid shouldn't move. Individual guidelines should be moveable but when using the full grid option then the individual lines of the grid should be locked (or lockable).

Locking elements to relative locations on the page. I would like to "lock" my footer bar to the bottom of the page so if I need to make the page longer the footer automatically moves with it. Same with locking items to left or right or top of page. (Although things at the top typically stay put. ;))

Make Web Form Builder forms visible and editable in VSD. I've gone back-and-forth as many as four times (at a time) to get everything to look right. Each time I have to: open WFB, make the change, go to VSD, delete the flash element, create a new flash element, pick the saved WFB file, re-position the ugly grey box, render to the preview window for verification...repeat. Not a productive approach. If I can see and edit WFB from within VSD think about the time saved! :cool:

Allow relative/equidistant spacing. You sort of have it with guides but why not let me move 1st item and last item to proper horizontal/vertical location and then everything in-bewteen is evenly spaced (on center). Could do the same thing for "packing" items right-edge-to-left-edge (or top-to-bottom) as well.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
