I see no way to set column count for an Xref or Usage printout, which it badly badly badly needs. I just printed 30 pages of Usage and probably a third of each page is used.
This has always been controllable in DirectSoft. Now, printing ladder in multiple columns is probably something that would rarely if ever, be used, at least not more than 2 columns, yet we still have that option, while we've lost it where it's much more necessary.
Plus, Xref still needs work to be able to be made useful in the tall, narrow aspect ratio like we've always had in DirectSoft, so we can use it without blowing away 30% of our ladder space. I mentioned this once before. Probably make the columns in the screen Xref individually user-selectable, and allow those that are kept to be stretched below their current minimum widths.
Plus, just switching to an MDI model, where everything can be stacked if we want. That would be a boon.

One possible work-around:
You can dock it, and hover over the tab to make it temporarily float to be as large as you want it to be, including the entire client area.

That's a good idea! You probability suggested that before and I just forgot.
But my main reason for posting was about the columns in Xref And Usage printouts. Any hope of getting that changed back soon?

We'll put it on our to-do list.
