      It would be very useful to have line hops for "One Line Riser Diagrams." Doing these manually in layout is a pain and takes three-four times longer than in something like AutoCAD. I've added an example image. A majority of my work in layout would be with system diagrams and one-lines, but it's just too time consuming to make it look good when one line crosses another.

      Example from another program, OmniGraffle, where line hops are automatic:

      Example from LO, where I've painstakingly cut the lines I've needed, created a separate line to the length I want the "hop" and then shortened each line individually to that length by "double-clicking" into 'point edit' so I only change the end point and not the whole line:
