Problem: The Properties panel will be closed on reopen of the program, regardless if it was last set to open or hidden from last session.
Workaround: Edit the following file in Notepad: C:\Program Files\MicroSurvey\MSCAD2027\icad.lsp
In there, add an extra line at the bottom as: (command "._PROPERTIES")
Then save and close the file. You may need Admin Rights to edit that icad.lsp file.

Problem: Creating text using the Leroy tool does not always apply the correct style. If, for example, you use the Leroy function to:
- create Complex 60 text
- create Leroy 60 text
- create Complex 60 text
...the Complex 60 text style CI060 won't be used in the third step
Workaround: 1. Ensure that you have set Drawing Scale Factor to the intended plot scale. Use ms_rescale if you need to change it.
2. Create "samples" of each of the leroy text styles in a working area off to the side. These can be deleted once this is done. 3. Activate the Text toolbar and use it to select the desired Leroy style and pick on the text, dtext or mtext functions to create new text
Status: Will be fixed in a future update.
