ER - Instant 3D and configuration settings

  1. Here is an ER that I just submitted. If you agree, go to the SW website and

    I like the Instant 3D as it is faster in a lot of instances. I have also
    verified that it respects configuration specific dimensions. This is good
    and makes it usable.

    However, I am still nervous with it in that I don't always remember if I
    have previously set a dim to this config only, or if it's still set on all
    configs. And this is especially true if I am working on someone else's
    stuff - then I really don't know at all and can't trust it.

    I would like to have some way to use the Instant 3D with full confidence of
    always knowing at that point whether or not I was changing the dim for all
    or this config. One might argue that if I haven't already changed it to be
    config specific, then it must not matter if I change it for all configs as
    they are all the same at that point. Maybe. What if I actually think I
    changed it last time, but in fact didn't. Now I change it for this config,
    thinking that it will remain at the previous setting for the other config,
    and I create a problem. Visibility of the setting each time would solve the
    issue.
