What is your preferred Text Editor / IDE?

I'm in the process of 'learning' a new text editor and it struck me... what do other PcDmis users use? I use a few depending on the task...It's super helpful, makes life less of a pain especially when typing those really long variables.

I use these frequently:

Visual Studio (w/ emacs keyboard)
Notepad++ (has multi cursors!)
GNU Emacs
and of course regular old Notepad

  • Educate me here. What, exactly, is this for?

    If it is what it sounds like it is (and I hope I'm right), I can use it to write programming in it then copy/paste it into the DMIS program.

    This would be useful to me right now because I have a set of code that I am copying and pasting throughout a program (constructed circle, group, dimensioning, assignment, end group, and a generic circle) and it is time consuming. I would use a subprogram but certain things change from feature to feature so that a single sub program wouldn't work. If a text editor does what I think it does then I would be able to copy/paste the code into DMIS then plug in the features needed in that set of code.

    Please tell me I'm right!!!!
