Custom colors for wire connections
Each wire can now use its own color or automatically inherit the color set for its layer.
✓A quick palette and a free color picker are available in every wire’s properties.
✓The selected color can be set as the layer default, including for new wires created in that layer.
✓A customized wire can return to its layer color at any time.
✓Colors are preserved in the editor, shared links, and PDF exports.

More reliable new-floor imports
Adding a floor now detects unreadable or incompatible PDFs before changing the project.
✓The PDF selected as the floor plan is analyzed and validated before it is added to the project.
✓A clear message explains how to re-save an incompatible file so it can be imported.
✓When a PDF contains several pages, the page used for the new floor can now be selected from its preview.
✓If the import fails, the project’s existing PDF and floors remain unchanged.

Every object can now be moved to another layer
The layer assigned to a device, zone or wire is visible in its properties and can be corrected directly.
✓A new “Layer” selector is available in the properties of devices, zones and wires.
✓Hidden or locked layers are identified before the change so an object does not appear to vanish or unexpectedly become immovable.
✓When a device or zone changes layer, room assignments are recalculated automatically.
✓Every transfer can be reverted with the usual undo command.

Circuit labels can be shown on demand
Each wire now lets you show or hide its circuit label without deleting its content.
✓The setting is available in the wire properties, below the label field.
✓A hidden label remains saved and can be shown again at any time.
✓The choice applies to both the editor and PDF export without changing wire selection.

Zone resizing and angle measurements
Zone edges can now be stretched directly, with optional measurements for every interior angle.
✓A new handle in the middle of each edge moves both endpoints together, making it quick to turn a square into a rectangle.
✓Vertex handles remain available for precise single-point adjustments.
✓The “Show angles on the plan” option adds every interior angle measurement to the editor and PDF export.

More reliable equipment selection and placement
Symbols can now be selected and placed accurately from the catalogue, favourites and recent equipment.
✓The same equipment remains draggable everywhere, even when it appears in its category, favourites and recent equipment at the same time.
✓Sidebar labels are no longer selected accidentally while dragging.
✓The symbol preview is centred under the pointer and placement follows its exact horizontal and vertical position, even after scrolling the sidebar.

Plan dimensions and cable takeoff for Pros
Add your own dimensions and mounting heights, then estimate cable lengths using the routes actually planned for the job.
✓Create free-form dimensions or use one as a reference to set the plan scale, with a custom colour and optional label display.
✓Set a ceiling height for every floor and a mounting height for each device, with dedicated PDF pages for floor dimensions and mounting heights.
✓The Pro cable takeoff considers the source panel, ceiling, floor, wall-chase or service-void routes, direct or wall-following paths, and floor crossings.
✓Detours, site allowance and heights can be adjusted before viewing totals by cable type and the detail for every circuit.
✓The estimate can be saved with the project and included in or excluded from the PDF export using a dedicated option.

Three new guides for planning a home electrical installation
New-build planning, electrical panel PDFs and single-line diagrams now have illustrated guides in both English and French.
✓A visual walkthrough shows how to turn an architect plan into an electrical package ready for contractor quotations.
✓A worked example explains circuit generation, panel organisation and the pages included in the exported PDF.
✓The guides clearly distinguish floor-plan layouts, single-line diagrams and panel diagrams, including their limits and required professional validation.
