    I kinda like the new custom properties interface, however, when I edit
    fields I don't see the cursor to show where I am. Is that me or everybody
    has this problem?

    I have the same problem - sometimes no cursor - but only just after
    inserting some system value like mass. One workaround: Make another
    "dummy" property and then you can edit the first one.
    One other property bug: I often use a property to display dimensions
    and I was happy when global variables showed up, but the phrase
    ""x"" only converts the last dim so that
    the property value reads eg. ""x10 instead of eg. 100x10
    Any clues.

    I believe you have to set up an equation in the equation dialog and then
    reference the equation name. Equate me?

    No equation - just linked value. In 2005 it shows up as a variable in
    the equation-folder; also pre-2005 parts generates a variable for each
    linked value.
