There were 270 wishes were submitted over the past few months and the top ten according to the voting at AUGI.com AutoCAD wishlist are as follows:

1. Dimensions on the correct layer
   
   Summary: An option to place all dimensions on a user defined layer, eliminating the need to change layers when dimensioning an object.
   Description: Placing Dimensions on a given layer has always been on task we all dread trying to remember.
   A button in the Dimension Dialog Box would allow all Dimension to be placed on a given layer.
   But just like dimensions they would allow for an override.
   How Used: Allow a check box for Dimensions to be on a given layer, and then key-in that layer name, or allow a pull-down from the Layers Manager.
   But allow for Overrides.

2. Valid Hatch Boundary Error
   
   Summary: When a valid hatch boundary not found error occurs, show why the boundary is invalid so it can be fixed.
   Description: That the Boundary Definition Error "valid hatch boundary not found" show the reasons why the boundary is invalid so as to enable me to fix it immediately.
   How Used: This would save a great deal of time and drawing space. I would not have to redraw borders and hatch to the new object, or try to discover the reason for the error and find the hidden opening in a complex object, rather I would fix the boundary and move on to the next.

3. Break symbol in dim lines
   Summary: The ability to add a break symbol to a dimension line and still maintain the correct dimension.
   Description: Break Symbol in the Dimension line
   How Used: There are times when I will have to use a break symbol on my drawing but I want to be able to dimension the item. I think it would be useful to have the ability to dimension and be able to chose a dimension line with a break symbol and enter the value.

4. Better insertion of word or excel files into AutoCAD
   
   Summary: The ability to insert word or excel files without having the appearance of them change in AutoCAD
   Description: insert a Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word file in a drawing as an AutoCAD entity without effecting the format of the inserted file.
   How Used: I would like to insert a Microsoft office or excel file as AutoCAD entity without changing the format or the look of the original file.

5. Compare Drawings
   
   Summary: The ability to compare two drawings and visibly show the changes between the drawings.
   Description: I want to see the ability to compare two drawings, nothing fancy, just compare line for line and generate a new drawing showing the differences. Use three colors for unchanged, added, and deleted.
   How Used: We frequently have several drawings in different states of revision. It would be helpful to be able to see what has changed.

6. Draworder setting for layers
   
   Summary: The ability to set a draworder to specific layers
   Description: Layers having a Draworder Settings.
   How Used: When creating layers, the user would assign a draworder value to that layer. For example, layers will have a hierarchy value of 1 thru 3. Value 1 will always be on the bottom, 2 in the middle and 3 always being on top. IF this does not create a performance issue, then it would be nice to have even a greater issue of control, such as a hierarchy value of 1 thru 5.

7. 3D to 2D conversion tool
   Summary: A better way to convert 3D drawings to 2D drawings when not using solids.
   Description: I would like to have an exact 3D to 2D conversion tool in model space.
   How Used: There is only an OLD and inaccurate DXB (or WMF) option to do such conversions in model space. Layouts support it, but only for solid models. Such a conversion would be a great feature for architects with possibility to convert solids as well as surfaces (terrains) or objects with thickness. 2D projection drawings would offer a wide possibility making use of the new 2D presentation graphics capabilities.

8. Double click to open dimensions
   
   Summary: The ability to double click on a dimension and have it open in the text editor.
   Description: I wish that when you double click the text on dimensions that it would open the text editor.
   How Used: I would double click the text on the dimension.

9. Create hatches
   
   Summary: The ability to create hatches in AutoCAD
   Description: The ability to create hatch
   How Used: I would like to be able to creates hatches such as plywood or other materials easily with a hatch editor/creator.

10. Default Printer when opening drawing with unrecognized printer
    Summary: When opening a drawing that has an unrecognized printer, the default printer should be used instead of "none"
    Description: Provide a default printer/plotter name to be assigned when you open a drawing with an unrecognized printer instead of selecting "None" at the moment.
    How Used: It would make plotting other people's work much easier
