Another of my favorite underused series of commands, features and attributes that can be used to manipulate and control design elements. Same goes even more for AutoCAD, I'm shocked by the number of users who don't even know what PICKADD is. Hah.

Also, I could never understand the objection to using the level filtering tools of MicroStation (and AutoCAD), easily one of the most powerful and labor saving tools in complex design (and drawing) files.
