Parametric Element Option to Move entire element to desired level
Moving a Parametric element to a new level doesn't move the underlying profiles and other features to that same level. This can result in the software appearing to show levels being used that do not appear to have anything on them. Very confusing ...
Adding Threads to Holes, Cylinders, Revolved Solids, Etc.
In previous versions of MicroStation (as it appears in the help files), there was once an option to "Add Threads" to a feature hole. This option seems to have been removed or depreciated in the CONNECT version. My suggestion is to add this option ...

Parametric Cells - Constraints for element visibility
Currently there are no methods to turn on/off the visibility of elements/nested cells contained within a cell via a boolean constraint. In many cases this would be a useful feature to have, to avoid having to recreate all the possible permutations...

Union of Parametric Features needs to allow option to maintain constraints
The union of parametric features tool in connect currently leaves a lot to be desired. If two fully constrained parametric solids are merged any constraints that existed between the solids are gone. Unless they were 2D some 2D constraints persist ...
Surface - Sweep 2 long 2 with constrained profiles
I want to sweep 2 constrained profiles along either 1 or 2 paths. The end result is to be able to edit the constraint values and the 3d surface or solids updates.
If I use Solid > Extrude along, it works, but with only 1 profile. If I try an...
Lock Z constraint works for 3-point view reorientation
I use the 'z' button toggle on the accudraw window to lock and unlock 'z' when working. The ACS Plane Snap toggle is 'OFF' most of the time. When I want to rotate a view using the 3-point method but keeping square to the existing view plane I have...

Parametric cell variables easily retrievable from item property expression
Current state is that if you want to retrieve value of a given variable (variable of a parametric cell) via expression in item property definition you can do it but in limited way. (item type is attached to the parametric cell afterwards in model ...

Planar Slice tool doesn't work with Reality mesh. To extract profiles from mesh planar slice is very useful. Either improve planar slice tool or add similar tool working with reality mesh. Project line or stencil doesn't give expected results as n...
It would be really nice to have a view option for the variables window when creating parametric cells.This way you could see more than one variable-set at a time and it would be much faster to edit the values.What I imagine: Parameter NameValueTyp...
