NEW D-Specifications from selected text

Would like to be able to generate D-spec fields from selected text
The New menu will not appear when text is selected. It seems like it would be a productivity improvement if the selected text could appear in the name input of any of the New menu item prompts. I would state that it does not matter if the user selects too much text you could make it load only the first word in the selected text or the entire selected string (this may actually not be the best solution). But like the enhancement for setting SEPs just pre-load the prompt and let the programmer do the rest.


Use Case:

Any text selected does not prevent the New menu from the right-click menu from appearing. Programmer to click on any of the new menu items and the selected text appears in the Name input.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
