Upsize wire based on circuit length
Upsize the wire based on voltage and length. Example is we often have a note to use #10's for 120V 20A circuit greater than 100ft in length and 277V 210A circuit greater than 150ft in length.

Auto update the feeder lengths on single line
when we move a panel/equipment, the feeders should not break, they should change their lengths as we move the panel connected to it, so that we don't have to refeed the whole thing again

Size Motor Disconnect using NEC 430.110
Add a feature to size and label motor disconnects.
NEC 430.110 calls for 115% of the full-load current rating of the motor.
We could also include an option to require the disconnect to be at least as large of the OCPD rating of the circuit.
Also an option for a specific size selected by the user.
And an option for a specific custom value if you want to indicate something such as "With unit" or "Not required".
Finally, a list of acceptable sizes to use for the disconnect. A default list of standard sizes would be included but you could…

printing of settings
It would be helpful to have a way of printing out the design master settings for a project to Q.C. and check. example would be wire sizes. it would also be nice to be able to save this to back check when something looks off or to compare with other projects.

Set Selective Coordination Graph Voltage
Add an option to set the voltage that selective coordination graphs use for their display.
Currently the voltage is set based on the voltage of the majority of equipment displayed on the graph.

Selective Coordination Graph: Fault Options
The fault labels are currently displayed automatically at the top of the selective coordination graphs.
Add an option to display the fault at the top (current functionality), at the bottom (current label would move to the top of the graph), or remove them.

Selective Coordination Graph: Set minimum time
Be able to set the minimum time for selective coordination graphs. Currently it is fixed at 0.01. We could add an option to set it at 0.1 or 0.01. Or add an option to set it at a specific value.
We are leaning toward implementing it as a 0.1 or 0.01 option. If you would like it as a custom value, indicate that in the comments.

Customize Parallel Run Labeling
Add customization options for how multiple parallel runs are labeled for wires.
DM currently labels multiple sets with the number of sets in parenthesis before the full wire callout:
(3) 3-1/2"C, 4-600kcmil, 3/0G
If you are interested this feature, indicate in the comments how you would like the multiple runs labeled.
