An interface to create marker symbols by drawing them. A whole combination drawing lines, polygons, text that can be saved as a symbol, much like a block in CAD. A user should not have to create a custom font just to create a custom marker symbol.
Another feature that CAD blocks have that ArcGIS should have is that the block symbology can be stored within the CAD drawing itself. So if you create a custom symbol in your ArcMap document and then share this MXD document to someone else who doesn't have this symbol saved on their computer, they could still see this symbol in the map, use it, modify it, and save this symbology in a separate file along with other saved symbols. Using cartographic representations to store custom symbology only in a geodatabase is quite a limitation.
Many many years ago, at least 15 years possibly more, there was a tool in ArcGIS that allowed the creation of custom marker symbols within the properties portion of ArcMap. It was simple, but allowed for direct creation of an embedded symbol in the styleset.
I, for one, would LOVE it if that was brought back or at least made available on the ESRI website for download and use under a current license.
