Some suggested enhancements for the next release #25

I am the Electrical Engineer with the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, based in the UK. I use TinyCAD for capturing the electrical schematics for our second new-build steam locomotive No 2007 'Prince of Wales' (see www.p2steam.com). It has proven to be very well suited to this task. I have some suggestions for features to include in the next release:

  1. Select multiple items and then be able to change font, colour or other attributes for the selected group, all together, with a single action
  2. Include icons for Undo and Redo on a toolbar (e.g. the File one)
  3. Display the names of colours when you float over them in the Basic color palette, to help people with impaired colour vision select an appropriate colour
  4. When copying and pasting an item from one drawing to another, have an option to paste it into exactly the same location on the second drawing, with a click or function key

I hope that these ideas are helpful. Please forgive me if some of these features are available now and I just haven't found them! I will post others if they occur to me.
