We have several sheets where we want certain lines that have specific feature definitions to have a dimension on the plans. We also have several shapes that we always want to show hatching or patterns appearing on the plans. Right now we have to manually add those after sheets are cut. I think it would save a lot of time if we could add these to annotation groups so they can be added directly to the feature definition and can be applied using the Element Annotation tool. The hatching could also be view independent so that it rotates to the drawing model, so the angles are maintained no matter the orientation of the sheet.

Hatching/Pattern and dimension styles can already be added to element templates, but there's no way that I'm aware of to automatically apply them.
