Upsize wire of branch circuits based on voltage drop
have the branch circuits upsize wire based on the voltage drop or have a setting similar to what we have in AutoCAD.

Subfeed breakers
Add specific support for subfeed breakers.
Be able to set the number of subfeed breakers on a panel (similar to how the number of poles is currently set on a panel).
Have the panel schedule update to document which breakers are subfeed. We likely would add a separator block between the branch circuit and subfeed breakers that you could customize. The default block would have a line across the schedule plus some text indicating branch circuit breakers above and subfeed below. You could then modify that as desired for your documentation purposes.

Improve combined homeruns
Be able to combine homeruns with different wire sizes.
Be able to combine homeruns from separate panels.
Be able to display a full wire callout for combined circuit homeruns, including calculating the conduit size required for all the wires.

Voltage Drop Based upon Connected or Other Load
Be able to specify that the voltage drop on a feeder should be based upon the connected or other load, rather than the calculated load.
One example of a use for this feature is a piece of equipment that serves a single motor. You want the voltage drop for the connected load of the motor, rather than the calculate load, which will be 125% of the motor load.

Reset panel "Fixed Loads".
Often, I need to "start over" on a panel that I've assigned fixed loads. It would be handy to have a button that would clear every fixed load on the panel. Or even be able to select several circuits and clear those circuit's fixed loads.

Connect loops to fixtures on same switch first
When inserting automatic loops, connect devices on a switch together first rather than mixing up the loops when multiple switches are on a circuit.

Define fixed load by phase
When defining fixed load on a panel schedule allow entry of per phase loads on two and three phase circuits in stead of lumped loads, i.e., on 2-pole circuit be able specify a load for phase A and B on any of the demand categories.

Support Paralleled Generators Connected to Switchboard
DM does not currently support more than one source on the Normal side of an ATS or the EM side of ATS, however larger I-2, I-3 occupancies generally have paralleled generators connected to a switchboard. This feature would avoid cumbersome work arounds.
