When you have the main assembly open and go to edit a sub assembly why can’t you select a bunch of parts using a window to hide or what ever?
It works in the highest up assembly that you have open but not a sub assembly. To me this is very annoying!!
When you are in Draft it is very difficult to dimension a hole using hole callouts when the hole intersects with another hole.
Why can’t you create a hole in a part that has the edge of the hole tangent to the edge of a part or tangent to another hole.

There are many more these are just a few that are bugging me right now.

I feel better now. Venting helps.

Because that would create a zero thickness feature, which is a no-no.

It is still annoying to have to create them .00001" apart (or some small distance).
In the real world this is sometimes needed.
 
In the real world you would not easily be able to produce such a thin wall, nor would you want to. Normally a section of the wall would be removed to eliminate the razor edge.
