Informations I'm about to write are not confirmed. I found them on polish archicad forum and they're just some first impresions from beta version of AC 10. Like below:
- Plotmaker will be finally soak into ArchiCAD, you'll be able to use it via project navigator, also you can assign different pen sets to different layouts
- coordinates and control bars will be convert to a kind of pet palette which follow cursor, so you'll have it always at hand
- there will be "mesuring tape" tool for easy mesure of distance between any two points
- menu options were reorganized, for example "display options" has its own preview window so you can see how your configuration will affect the plan
- you can finally do sloped walls and posts without gdl script, also bottom and top thickness of a wall can be different
- fills can use gradients now (linear or radial)
- fills have their own X Y axis and can be resized independently (you can change proportion of a pattern) and what is more - bend them
- "see what you're about to select" function, cursor recognize what is under it in 2D and 3D
- one navigation orbit in 3D!! shift+mouse for navigation instead of previous 3D navigation palette
- Lightworks environment seems not to have any major improvements
The same lousy material preview window, no radiosity.
Looks like they focused on some long-time-needed improvements more than on making revolutionary release.

and if true 
it sounds as if AC is following Revit...
