WCS options in point constructor

[SiW979]

Is there any way that the default option infor the WCS in point constructor dialogue can be set to be WCS as default rather Absolute as WCS is the option that is used far more than the Absolute option?

Cheers

I agree.

This software would be so muck less tedious to use if nagging little things like this could be controlled, of if dialog memory was smarter.

The primary reason for that is that even IF the Output Coordinates 'Reference' is set to 'WCS' and you have the 'Associtive' option toggled ON, the X,Y,Z coordinates used to define the location of the Point FEATURE (as captured by Expressions) will always be in Absolute terms anyway. Therefore, if you ARE going to be creating Point FEATURES (with the 'Associtive' option toggled ON), you might just as well do it relative to Absolute so at least you will be getting exactly what you thought you were entering as parameters in the first place.
