Just got my license - wanted to breathe some life into this forum

I just bought SpaceClaim after shopping around for about a year. Seems to be the best deal out there. SpaceClaim has put a lot of thought into the software.

I have been to their site a time or two. I did like what I saw but decided it was beyond my budget for the time being. Please inform of the features you
like.Thanks for your input.

To start, I like the following:
1. Intuitive keyboard shortcuts.
2. Ability to enter different units of measurements on the fly (i.e. mm, inches, feet, etc) without changing units.
3. Ability to enter mathematical expressions (i.e. software wants a radius; I'm thinking in diameter so I just enter Rx2. The expressions can be quite complicated, and the software obeys scientific rules (i.e. x is performed before +, etc).
4. Excellent user manual; responsive support.
5. Simple user interface.

Thats just to start. A lot of these, like 2 & 3 are common on many programs, but not on AutoCAD, for example. I'm sure I'll find some shortcomings as I go (found one already) - nothing is perfect.
