This is a very important feature for me as an Altium user. I have been using this since it was first released with altium and the product has grown from unusable to nearly fully featured in less than a year. I look forward to where this product goes in the future.
The biggest feature missing is scaled harness drawings. A very basic feature of harnessing software is the ability to set a bundle length and print a harness where the actual bundle length matches what you set in the harness drawing software.
