Move Tool (Shift + M)
The tool has two useful options, the first is that you can use the data bar to use a numeric value, so that it becomes the same as the Move option in the Modify menu; and its ability to become a cloning tool by setting the Retain option in its Preferences window.
Duplicate
And speaking of Duplicate options, two very useful tools are available (Edit -> Duplicate Array) and (Edit -> Duplicate Along Path).
Paste in Place (Ctrl + Alt + V)
The Paste in Place is the same as Paste to Front in Adobe Illustrator, which duplicates the object in the same location.
Lock/Unlock
These would be useful tools, I should try to use them occasionally.
Purge
The Purge option (Tools -> Purge Unused Objects) is very useful to decrease the file size and keep it clean.
Convert
These tools are very useful, the Convert To Lines (Modify -> Convert -> Convert To Lines) allows a 3D object to be converted into the 2D representation of its current view, also the Convert To Polygons turns it into 2D surfaces (where each polygon is considered a surface).
