Continuing to make some additions and changes to ease use and improve the appearance of the harness design:

[1] Added many standard DSub, M8/M12, and USB connector outlines/pin arrangements to aid in the creation of connectors not currently in the library

[2] In concert with the addition of more connector outlines, added a Magic Button on the Connector and Cable Creator pages that pulls all fields for an entered MPN from Digikey or Mouser. Now, you can just enter your part number (like CDM806-04A-MP-F011-67 for this CUI connector, https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/same-sky-formerly...) and the fields will populate automatically. If a standard outline is recognized, you have the option to load the outline and pin arrangement too. For cables, this will pull the core count and other cable properties.

[3] The Harness Builder now features a grid and snap-to functionality to align items. You can also share a link (ie, https://splice-cad.com/#/shared/lgcy2htze9zlqs4igdgycfncy98f...) to a harness design that a collaborator can view or clone/edit).
