Looking at the above list seriously.....
You list a number of sub-model specific desires including:
1. view angle on a sub-model basis. You already have this using MLCad's
ROTSTEP meta-command. ROTSTEP only applies to the file that contains it. It
does not have an effect on sub-models or files that contain the sub-model with
ROTSTEP in it.
2. I'm providing default values (on a sub-model level basis) for background type
(transparent, solid color or image). You will also have the ability to control
these on a sub-model by sub-model basis. background statements at level N have
no effect on level N-1 or N+1.
3. I've added BOM BEGIN IGNORE/BOM END to the list of new features
4. I've already got support for sub-model BOM generation, but I have no support
for BOMs in the layout controls.
OK, so it was only about 4 requests.

Added to the list.
