Variable Pressure Drop for Diffusers
Using the maximum scheduled pressure drop for every scenario over inflates the pressure calcs. This is very important for low-pressure systems with low static terminal units such as ducted VRF and Fan Coil Units that max out at .25". Using the maximum scheduled pressure drop of say, .1" for air devices make it difficult to design low static systems accurately.

More options for panel callouts, circuit labels, and homerun callouts
Add the ability to specify a prefix or suffix for panel callouts when inserting them on the drawing. For example, be able to label them NEW PANEL 'LA' rather than simple LA.
Also be able to replace the panel name with a different value in the circuit callout. This feature would be used when the panel name is very long.
Also be able to leave the panel name off entirely and list just the circuit number in the homerun label. This feature would be used when there is only one panel in an area.

Update Pipe Breaks on Save or Open
When inserting fittings or piping the software will go through a regeneration process after each item is inserted. When files are small this is not a big deal. On large projects there is a noticeable delay and the software zooms out to the extents and then back into the area you are working on. Rather than do this on every change, include an option to only do this when the drawing is saved (and possibly when the drawing is opened).

Update the Excel Add-in to work in Recent Version of Excel
The Excel Add-in is two pieces: functions in Excel for pulling information from the DM database, and a set of pulldown menus and dialog boxes for inserting these functions.
The functions still work and can be used manually.
The pulldown menus and dialog boxes no longer work in newer versions of Excel.
This wish list item is for us to fix the menus and dialog boxes to work again.
