I agree with Josh's wish:

"It would be nice if in the Purge dialog when we select a GTV to be included in the purge, that it would not keep us from deselecting layers. I think if you select a GTV it should set all of the layers to be included, but If you remove a layer which may be included in a GTV, it should not uncheck the GTV?".

It would be most handy if when we start typing in one of the type editable fields in the Entity Property dialog boxes that the Apply button becomes clickable. As it is now we start typing and have to click in some other editable area to get the Apply button to be clickable.

It would be extra handy if along with the above wish, that the text in the text area would remain editable, meaning that the text select caret stayed in it's last location so we could type, click apply to check that value, if we don't like it type another value without having to mouse back over to the text area and click again and keep our mouse cursor over the apply button to click apply over and over while checking different values. Try a few related edits, like trying different linetype or hatch scales and you'll see what I mean I think. Thanks.

It would be handy if when we are running a long stringline dim, that if we undo because a snap point was off to remove an incorrect dim, that the stringline command would also step back that last distance and allow us to pick the correct point instead of continuing on with the next dim, skipping that space. It might be kind of "improper" tweaking undo to include command based variables, but I think if it was reasonable to do, it would make good sense as to how the stringline command is used and a fix to the common issue of getting unwanted snap points.

Would be nice to get the Arrow and Dot options in the Non-Linear dimensions. Also the filled option in Angular is kind of cool. Seems arrows in general need to be the same through out all the dimension types if possible.

The Openings options in the Architect menus (2D & 3D) needs the Sides option too so we can input openings by sides or centered. Would also be nice if we could have an option to draw lines to at the wall edges. The lines would be drawn using current line settings for 2D, possibly the same for 3D smart walls?
