Status update.  Working on the back end to support transformations better, specifically rotation as there are cases where I need to draw symbols rotated 90 degrees vertically (this is also typical for IEC style drawings.)  After that I need to add better support for multiple pole versions of symbols before I can go back to creating the actual symbols.

Future plans right now include:
Standard Line Styles
Block optional argument instead of just drawing on default layer
SVG Export?
Circuits or enhancing Symbol class (more intelligent combinations of symbols)
Title Blocks
Config Files for personal standards? On my title blocks I state colors used and wire gauge.
    Ex.  External Voltage | Yellow | 14 AWG
Make a separate repo with CC0 containing all the symbols?
    So license is clearly different from the program used to generate.
    Gives a place to download if that's all you care about.

It's heading in a general direction based on what I plan to automate for myself but hopefully either the symbols or program will prove useful to others in the end.
