Properties dialog windows may change locked objects after confirmation. Measure tool in Schematic and Component Editor. Groups in Component and Pattern Editors, similar to Schematic and PCB. Selecting object and opening its sub-menu from design manager in Schematic and PCB (right click on the item in design manager). Pad to copper pour thermals are rotated to pad/component angle. Pattern shape precision has been improved, recounting pattern shapes by borders when you change the number of pads/dimensions in Pattern Editor. Free resizing of all library/component list and additional fields in Component/Pattern Editors. Name description, unique name and manufacturer fields have been added to the pattern. Component properties dialog is redesigned to allow display and edit all additional fields at once. Filter can be stopped on any search stage, results are displayed in real-time while searching components. 3 ways of building 3D model of the pattern (by file, by component outline and by IPC-7351 standard). Pattern origin is shown as cross + circle (options) and can be displayed by layers. font settings can be applied to markings placed in Component/Pattern Editor - move tool (F10) allows to move/rotate any text object inside component directly in Schematic/PCB. free angle and alignment - separate marking settings for assembly layer in PCB - custom marking font by the component - text with parameter property placed in pattern/component editor is counted as pattern marking (PCB/Schematic do not add additional text). New Component marking system in Schematic and PCB Layout: - any number of markings can be displayed (display property is available for each field, including additional). Anchor point + Left-Center-Right, Top-Center-Bottom alignment is used for text, markings, pictures and while editing shapes. It is possible to cut text or picture/logo at the copper pour. Pictures are now vectorized and saved together with a design file. Text and pictures can be rotated to any angle. Snap to other objects key points when building/editing shapes, board and copper pour. Obround shapes instead of ellipses in all programs. Updated properties dialogs for all shapes (now can be edited by dimensions). Any set of shapes can be converted to board outline (you can place arcs, lines, poly-lines as you wish, connect their ends and convert all to board outline). 3 ways to build and edit arcs (3 points, center-radius-angles, start-end-radius). Two types of internal component connections are possible: - one of pads should be connected or internal connection can be used as jumper for the net. Similar pad numbers are allowed (in this case pads are connected together inside pattern, symbol before or after number allows to avoid warning). Remove silk from pads/holes/mask wizard in Pattern Editor. Configurable Silk to Pad clearance in DRC. Component outline layer (3D model can be built by component outline). Courtyard layer, DRC does not allow courtyard region to be overlayed (touch is allowed). Both Pattern Editor and PCB Layout layer panels have configurable layer order and visibility. Pattern Editor has a layer panel similar to PCB layout. Fiducial object in PCB and pattern editor. Solder mask and paste mask of pads are visible in the design area and can be printed. Segmented paste mask, solder mask by paste mask. Rotating component to any angle without changing it. Rotating pads to any angle without changing to polygon. Pad shape can be shifted from pad hole center. IPC-7351 standard pattern type: - pattern is generated automatically by IPC-7351 generator integrated into Pattern Editor - 3D model is generated on the fly in Pattern Editor and PCB Layout 2. If you have gone wrong, DipTrace can suggest how it can be fixed or even automatically shift components into the right position which is where this program excels where others fail.DipTrace 4.0 Beta Freeware is out. If you're not sure whether your circuit will work, there is a useful validator which checks whether what you've built will actually work in the real world. Creating projects is simple - it just requires dragging and dropping of all the components you need into the work area and then you subsequently make connections between pins to create your own circuit. DipTrace allows you to import projects and libraries such as LT Spice, CAD, Accel, Allegro, Mentor, Protel among many others so professionals will find this a really useful complementary tool to their existing toolbox. If you've ever thought about building your own PC from scratch then one thing you'll have to get familiar with is circuitry design?ĭipTrace is a professional tool that's not exactly easy for those that have not got much electronic know how but it does produce stunning results.
