Is there any chance we could get a dashed or dotted line in Schematic Capture? Consider a relay. It would be useful to have a dashed or dotted line connect the coil to the contacts. The same thing applies to a multi-section switch.
At present, I can draw a solid line, but not a dashed or dotted line.
Thanks

Dashed or dotted line
Re: Dashed or dotted line
The features have been requested many times. We know about line styles and will try to implement them in future.
Re: Dashed or dotted line
How soon in the future? You have done a few releases since initially requested. Seem like a simple change?
Re: Dashed or dotted line
Now we develop the Push&Shove and Export/Import to XML format. After that will create the other features from to do list.

Re: Dashed or dotted line
It came up again: The need for a dashed line. In this case, I was adding "ECO notations" to an older schematic, and wanted to distinguish ECO copper from an ECO physical connection. This is for a circuit that includes a battery charger/manager, and the new version includes a separate battery wire for powering the MCU, with the primary wire used for higher current duty, like charging the battery and using the battery to run a pump motor.
I wanted the dashed line for showing the physical connection of an unused terminal block position to this secondary battery connection.
I did it manually, which is a pain!
ECO = "Engineering Change Order"

If left to evolution, would this PCB ever design itself, and what would the lead time be on that?
Re: Dashed or dotted line
Still no push and shove and no dotted line. I very much would like this minor change.
