I'm currently working on a presentation style floor plan and realising that using regular solid colour fills looks really bland (even with patterns) and no difference when doing the same stuff 20 years ago. Right now, I wish it had the ability to apply an image as a fill to a shape i.e. the equivalent of the SketchUp Paint tool, or AutoCAD's SuperHatch command. Right now, the only option I have is to print to PDF or export to DXF/SVG and use Photoshop/Gimp or Illustrator/Inkscape to access that functionality.
What's on your wish list?
Things i wish it had (from my AutoCAD days):
- repeat last command (simple enter in acad)
- copy with basepoint (to paste objects at their original coordinates from clipboard)
- visibility states for cells (only display certain cell objects at certain scales, etc) - maybe have cell object visibility linked to an Item Type expression?

Assuming you are referring to the COPYBASE command, we've been able to do this for years, I've always called it Ninja-snapping (just don't go searching for that name in the help file)https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/askinga/602/paste-elements-at-same-graphical-location
Kindof there, but what if it is real world model data. A bit impractical to snap to 0,0 when your data is 1000s of kms away.
Great tip though (and I'll definitely be using it)
