I hope you have some earlier experience with AutoCAD MEP software. When we insert a component like duct, Air conditioning unit, or panel in MEP drawing, nodes are displayed at the In and Out ports of the component. These ports enable us to connect the current component to other component with the help of wire/ducts/pipes whichever is applicable there. (You might need to work on AutoCAD MEP). The same thing should be implemented in AutoCAD Electrical also. Since, I have seen students finding difficulty I am sure the same difficulty is being face in industry too. Till this point, AutoCAD Electrical is more like pick and place thing but people want it to be Parametric rather then pick and place.
One enhancement can be a new way of adding new components. Again it should be same as AutoCAD MEP. In simple words, we want the components to be smart in AutoCAD Electrical. They will have +signs at their input and output so that user know how many connections he can do to the component.
One more enhancement can be a Wire Manager just like Layer Properties Manager in AutoCAD, which will have all the parameters of selected wire. So that we are able to change the gauge of wire, color of wire and so on from it more efficiently.
If we want to check the total length of wire used in current drawing, there is no tool for that. Suppose I am wiring for a house and I have connected n number of appliances with same type of wire x, then there should be a tool to measure it.
