Favourite Feature in AC?

For me the 'GROUP' and 'SUSPEND GROUP' feature is one of my favourites. It's a simple feature, but I can't do without it. Wish other programs would also use it.

Favorite feature?
The ability to see lower or upper floors from the floor plan to coordinate contract documents. Now expanded to any drawing with the trace feature in 11

It is already expanded to any drawing. for example open a floor plan from your Navigator then right click on front elevation inside of Navigator and select Show as Trace Reference. You can do this with anything in the project map/view map and layout windows.

It depends on what I am doing.

Modeling from 2D backgrounds: Trace & Reference

Presenting schematics: Sketch + color renderings overlaid in Photoshop

Issuing (& reissuing) drawing sets: Publisher

Coordinating complex projects: Hotlinks & Modules

General modeling & drafting: Pet Palette functions, numeric entry, Magic Wand.

3D navigation: I agree with Chazz - Orbit

My favorite are the OLE features.

Perhaps we can get them back in 12. ?
