Can TinyCAD please have a option to include or use LAYERS in schematic? I use TinyCAD for a wide range of projects, form traditional wiring of analog and digital circuits as well as what I call "hybrid" schematics that are a cross between the aforementioned versions and connection diagrams.

In my designs, sometimes the color of layers gets somewhat complicated and busy. It would be a great feature to be able to put certain wires (say +12V bus) on one layer and others (ground layer) on another. Being able to turn off the layers to only see one working layer would improve wiring and accuracy as I usually build my own prototypes and following wires on a page can leave you cross eyed.

    I sometimes have a use for this where I am annotating a PCB layout.
    This may be for highlighting testpoints or similar for repairs.
    If the picture could be on a background layer and then locked it would be much easier to draw in the overlay data.
    Not exactly what TinyCAD was created for but nonetheless very useful.
    I also find it very useful to create sketches of various mechanical ideas for colleagues.

    I would settle for being able to set an image as the page background which would not be selectable or editable.
