I would like to be able to create multi-color (3 or more) lines without having to overlap individual lines.  Choices should be reflected in endpoints. Example: Red line with alternating green and white dashed line down the center.  Ideas: Helical lines, ISO standard quick selection menu, quick selection menu of last “x” amount of styles, option to group lines that allow path modifications at the same time and maintain current spacing and color changes get applied to shapes connected, more line creation points along edges of shapes.

There should also be a simple option to outline lines so you can use white lines without having to color the background.  It would also help define other lines to just add a thin black outline. This should be an easy thing to do.  

Other Ideas:

  • Expanded clipboard menu.
  • Hotkey for locking, zoom to content, increase/decrease setting options. Hotkeys for everything!
  • “Create Diagram Key” should differentiate line styles and shape styles including different line weights.
  • Line and shape animations.  Timeline window to edit when animations happen. Export as .gif or mp4.
  • More/better electrical shapes.
