1. Adding resistor tolerance band? Currently all show as red (2%)... Or changing the parameters of resistors so the bands are selectable instead of the value input in the edit window?
2. Snapping on pins for tube sockets... I struggled with sizing tube socket elements so that the pins landed on the grid, and getting resistors/cap connections to display on the actual pins was difficult. 
3. This was great for me to document a Leslie Amp I'm restoring... any thought to adding some Hammond/Leslie components i/e. 6, 7, 9, 11-pin Amphenol connectors used by Hammond Leslie connection, as well as fuses, plugs, etc... in the future?

Hi Eric

1. Actually, tolerance is not rendered and not implied. If you double click on a resistor you can choose 4 or 5-band standard. In either case you get one less band shown, as only the color code of the actual value is rendered.
2. there's already such feature, just go to Config menu and then change Snap To -> Components
3. You can file an official request here https://github.com/bancika/diy-layout-creator/issues. I typically tackle components based on the effort and impact. Sometimes it takes a few weeks, sometimes unfortunately years, due to the size of the backlog. You can skip the line by sponsoring a component at very reasonable rates. Write to me directly if interested.

Cheers
