Re: DipTrace Team has the question to our users

Microcontroller variants are sometimes available, and sometimes not. For example, the MSP430FR23xx is missing, while most other variants are in the standard library. By the time we notice something is missing, though, we already need to create a component/pattern for it. So there is little reason to...

Delete Via?

Sometimes there is an unnecessary via in a trace. Is there a feature to remove it, without losing the attached traces?

That should be the default when a via is deleted, in my opinion.
Select the via to delete ONLY the via. Especially when all connected traces are on the same side of the board.

Re: Buses and hierarchical sheets

Another 5 years... and it's still a pain point. Any progress on this?

Re: PCB Editor - Editing Component Silk without having to "Ungroup Component"

This appears to still be a problem 2 years later!

No way to edit the silkscreen without ungrouping? Even though these components were grouped within the PCB Editor?

There must be some way to allow editing the silk screen, regardless of layer and group.

Re: Buses and hierarchical sheets

What's the workaround to allow accessing a bus defined on another sheet from within a Hierarchical Block?

Re: Ground Planes, Copper Pour, and Ratlines question

That is a very useful function, but hidden for newcomers.

Wouldn't it be better to run it automatically at key points in the design (such as before exporting)?

Re: change refdes font?

> Changing RefDes font size separately for custom components is not possible yet, however we will consider this for the next update. However I do not guarantee we will add it in shortly, as the list of features is quite big. It has now been over 9 years (!) - has this been added yet? Every label has...

Re: How to refresh edited patterns in component library

Even if that is a good idea for some use-cases, we shouldn't be *forced* to manually click on dozens (or hundreds) of components and select their patterns again, then close the dialog, etc., just to update their patterns. Can you supply an automated way of updating component patterns after editing t...

Re: Resize Hierarchy Blocks

Hi, Has there been an update to this post? Have the features been implemented after six years? I'm currently unable to resize my hierarchical blocks or any blocks for that matter. I can see the box corner highlights. But when I try to click and expand the corner blocks, they just disappear. Thanks ...
