          Weld: To weld line segments so they behave as single entities for selection purposes and to reduce the need to soften/smooth edges.
          CutList: Nearly every project I draw these days is a plan for a piece of furniture or cabinets and my clients require cut lists so they can quote for materials. I could do it manually but Cut List takes only a couple of seconds.
          BZ Spline: For drawing non-circular curves.

              I dont know if my most used plugins are my favorites but anyway:
              Put on layer (I use it ALL the time to keep my file organised.)
              Weld (I've edited it so I have it under the right click menu)
              Joint pushpull (Could also be Extrude edge by vector)

                      Based on use:

                      Weld
                      Remove unused edges
                      BZ spline (all)

                      Based on coolest/usefulness (IMO)

                      SD&S
                      Curviloft
                      JPP

                      All of the above make SU easier and better to use.

                          I already gave you three--for this week. I also like to see how well I can do some operations from scratch. However, I don't think Weld has a native substitute.

                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                          Default Layer Gemometry

                                          I totally agree on this one. It is invaluable to me. Move all geometry to layer 0 while keeping all groups, images, components on the layer they were on. Absolute must for clean modeling habits.

                                          Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.
