Rotation and Scaling Setup

Would it be possible to 1) have GM remember my Rotation Angle and Rotate/Scale About settings; 2) somehow allow me to create a shortcut key that works (currently the creation process; e.g., assigning the backslash '\' key, doesn't work); and 3) a means to forgo the dialog entirely; i.e., hit the shortcut key and then drag spin/scale the feature?

Also, another suggestion: Consider adding the same 'drag map' technique for scaling.
Both of these suggestions are useful when doing heads up digitizing of buildings and other assets. -
Kelly,
I've added an option to the Rotate/Scale dialog to enter a drag-to-scale mode. In additional the Move/Reshape right-click menu now also has items to go directly to drag to scale and drag to rotate, and you can also add those to the Favorites dialog if you like, providing one click/key access to them.
I have placed new builds with the latest changes at the links below:
32-bit: http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15.zip
64-bit: http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15_64bit.zip
Simply download the .zip file for the build that you are using and extract over your existing installation files. The likely locations to extract to are as follows:
32-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\GlobalMapper15
64-bit: C:\Program Files\GlobalMapper15_64bit
Thanks,
