Daniel states some very good uses for the Hotspots.
I do many of them. I like to set the important ones on a reference points layer and then LOCK it. Then I reset the tool to place them on the ArchiCAD layer.
This way anyone placing them for helpful reminders of center spots or alignments all over the drawing sets can be erased with confidence by shutting off all layers and doing a quick set all and delete.
Once even used them to remember construction grid intersections when the coordinate lines and columns were shut off. Easier to dimension to in this way than a center of a steel column with five hotspots of it's own.
I agree with LINK regarding some of the other tools, however I do see the necessity of the Hotspot tool in the tool palette.
IMHO
