DipTrace 4.2: offers XML import/export of libraries
XML Format for Component and Pattern Libraries | Environment Variables | Improved Panelization and Manual Routing Tools | Radial Placement
After several months of development work, we are thrilled to announce that DipTrace 4.2 is ready for launching.
We have incorporated import and export of component and pattern libraries in a universally compatible XML format, which means that libraries can now be easily revised and adjusted without limitations to any particular software.
Striving to make the use of DipTrace on different PCs as seamless as possible, we have introduced the option of setting Environment variables, which enables smooth portability of projects together with libraries, 3D models, images, etc.
We have fine-tuned and improved our design toolkit: the panelization tool now offers an option of creating edge rails for a single board; a new Radial Placement feature enables placing objects around a circumference with defined parameters; our manual routing tool has received the Pause Routing command that allows pausing trace routing to perform layout editing with subsequent resuming of the routing process with one key hit.
In 3D view dialogues, you can now find side and isometric view buttons that allow for quick change of 3D display perspective of a 3D model of a device or a PCB board.
And, as usual, we have continued expanding our standard libraries and have fixed all detected bugs.
