Here's an 'EasyPower vs. SKM' question: In SKM, how do you go about spacing your drawing elements? Do you need to think about that in SKM, or is there some sort of auto-spacing feature? For you EasyPower users out there, do you have any tricks to keep drawings easily legible?

I've included two examples of what I consider to be typical single-line diagrams for EasyPower and SKM. In general, SKM drawings seem more orderly and evenly spaced, and EasyPower drawings seem more busy and cluttered. I try to get my drawings looking more like SKM-produced single lines, but there aren't any auto-spacing options in EasyPower as far as I can tell.

...The EasyPower is my drawing. I spent hours lining up buses and moving text blocks so everything fit and seemed cleaner. By contrast, SKM drawings almost always look like all that stuff is quantized to a grid and just happens mostly automatically. Maybe SKM engineers are just more orderly people :D
