Schematic Editor support: Alignment and pattern operations
Variants.
I use this and have to work around it with custom fields.
Wayland compatibility.
For completeness I guess, I use it under XWayland and that works fine but it’s not officially suppported.
Multiple document interface. Just more well-behaved.
Variables that span multiple units. Currently ${U1A:UNIT} returns “A” but I have to actually enter U1A to get that result. I want to do something like ${U1${UNIT_FROM_PIN(12)}:NET_NAME} which would resolve to “GND” if pin 12 of U1 happens to be connected to GND.
Well, I will join this topic. I would really like to implement fanout functions for components (as in cadence Allegro), so that the via with the track becomes part of the component on the board and moves with it when the component is moved. This feature would also be useful for large BGA-type enclosures, since there is nowhere without fanout. Of course, there is a functionality for creating an array of transition holes with tracks, but personally it doesn’t seem very convenient to me.

I am concerned about importing OrCAD schematic, or EDIF files?
just like import wizard
In the Add Symbol (or footprint) tool, to find the symbol, you need to know the partnumber or hover over or doubleclick all of them while sometimes it’s easier to just look for an image.
So it would be nice if you can click a library name and in the properties pane (which contains nothing in v8) a grid of clickable symbols with name is shown.
A mockup of how it could look like:
