What is your favorite simple tool (or trick)? When I started learnind ACAD (R10!) I went around the office posing this question. Now I am doing the same.

Mine are Align (key in AL)- learned that at AUGI camp and the invisible line tool (especially for detailing ) Learned that from our Denver office.

A simple one? I like Linework. Very handy to show overhead things without changing your view range.

Align has got to my all time favorite.

One trick I've learned is to use the align tool as a single element trimming tool. Using the align tool, pick what you want to trim to (line or wall) and then use the tab key to pick the end of the element you are trimming.
