The edge.cut layer is a nice addition, but lacks real drawing tools. I do not understand why we have an ARC and CIRCLE drawing tool, but no RECTANGLE tool. That would make life a lot easier. Creating a rectangle with a polyline tool is always a pain if you use a small grid. I would really like a rectangle tool, plus a break/cut tool in order to insert features (cuts)
