Selected device type to find that are uncircuited
Often I circuit items by device type, such as equipment first, then general receptacles, and finally lighting. Sometimes I only show the light fixtures or site lighting but don't ever circuit them as a lighting designer is taking that part of the contract. So under either situation if the symbols have already been placed and I do the “Highlight Uncircuited Devices” command, I get so many lines going all over the place that I can't find out which receptacles I haven't circuited. It would be nice under the Highlight Uncircuited Devices label you have a sub-selection of: Receptacle, Lights, Equipment,…

put alternating shading on successive rows in outputted html tables/reports
For example, when I print an HVAC load calculation report, the many row entries can be difficult to follow visually across the screen. This obviously won't be useful in absolutely every case, but an option to have a little bgcolor="#EEEEEE" every other line would be awesome.

More MCC Stater Sizes
Is it possible to modify the list of standard starter sizes to include VFD, Soft Switch, etc? Or even to choose 'None' and just type it in the Description field?
I've used the ddedit command on the MCC schedule inserted into the drawing to manually modify it, but if anybody does a coordination this will be lost.

lighting report
Provide a check box in the Building Room dialog box to NOT include the room in the lighting report.
I have a job where I need room names to generate the names for the receptacle circuits in the panel schedule, but don't want the rooms to show up in the Indoor Lighting Levels report.

Provide Minumum air flow calculations
If the minimum air flow is set in the calculation bases on a parameter such as air change rate, cfm/sq ft or a set cfm it would be nice to have that as a column in the calculation output.

Provide a default voltage for the panels in a project.
Add a check box to set the voltage for a building. If a building is 120/240, then checking a box will set the default for panels, equipment, etc to 120/240v instead of 120/2083p4w.

Circuit and Move Note in one step
Often when circuiting I find the location DM puts the label is very poor. It would be nice if after inserting the circuit I could move the circuit text without having to stop the circuiting action, move the text, then start the circuiting action again.

Link to PDF File
In the various DM schedules (light fixtures, receptacles, diffuser, etc), add the option to link the entry to a PDF file. The PDF could be opened from the schedule, or there could be an option to include it as a hyperlink on the device so it can be opened from the AutoCAD drawing.

Rotate Equipment ID Tags
Presently the equipment ID tag reverts to "world" orientation whenever it is moved or when you coordinate data base. Please make it subject to rotate text command, such that it stays in the orientation selected.

Add an attribute for panel schedule
Add an attribute that adds the odd circuit and the even circuit in a panel schedule, i.e. circuits 1 & 2, circuits 3 & 4, etc., and be able to put that attribute in the phase block of the panel schedule.

Prompt to Load DM
Add a prompt before loading any DM information into a project. Would be useful when you do NOT want DM loaded in a specific Revit project.
At the project level, would save your response so that you are only prompted once.
At the user level, would have an option to disable the prompt so DM is automatically loaded in all projects like it currently is for customers who prefer that workflow.

Arc-Flash Stickers based on NEC 110.16(B)
Create arc-flash stickers based on NEC 110.16(B). These stickers are much simpler than what are required by NFPA 70E.

Homerun Wire Callout Option
Add an option for homerun callouts to not display anything for #12 wires and to display tick marks and the full wire callout for anything else.
Currently there are a few options that are close but nothing that has exactly these groupings of tick marks and wire callouts.
