That would depend on how you define add-on. Do you include or exclude
the vertical packages? Do you really mean "sold with" or just available to
run with AutoCAD? I don't know about top five, but some of my favorite
programs that work with AutoCAD are XL2CAD and Acroplot. Some of my other
add-ons are just macros that I have written along the way for my needs.
Some that I use a lot are layer commands with wild cards in the layer names, a
polyline join macro, and a zoom all in paper space macro. Lately I have
been heavily using a macro to sort out draw order issues.

As for verticals, that depends on what type of people do. I use Civil
3D, but I have looked into Inventor for some charity work I do. I did not
go that way because the prices was too high for me personally without a
commercial application.

Hi Brad,
Thank you for your answer. I really mean "sold with" because I am trying to understand what are the add ons solution used the most with AutoCAD by their users. I also include vertical packages as a way to see or not if AutoCAD users are trying to upgrade their product or just add few functions that are not in the original autoCAD package.
Don't hesitate if you want to share more information.

>>>..."sold with"...<<<
Most Authorized resellers would push a vertical over selling an add-on to
plain AutoCAD, so for your question to be answered you really need to wait
for a reseller to let you know the 'top 5' you seek.
If you are not looking for a reseller's list of top 5, but what users
actually by after finding plain AutoCAD to be inadequate, rephrase your
posting: you'd get more true answers in this END USER forum.

This was designed to work with LT 2005 so it uses some commands that may
not be necessary with full AutoCAD or newer versions. It
probably does not need all of the regens at the end either, but it is designed
to work on object we keep in paperspace and return the drawing in paperspace
with a zoom all. I also have not adopted it for use in non-English
versions. Watch the line wrap. There are no spaces or returns in the
macro other than ;

You will need to set up a dummy layer state called "1". It does to
matter what it is, but the macro will stumble if it is not there
there.

Of course, this only works on one layer at a time, so you may have to add
some other thaws to get the rest of the text to be included.
