Copper, soldermask & silkscreen in STEP export
Hi, It would be nice to get silkscreen/soldermask & copper in the STEP export. Past requests for this feature were replied to with "We planned this, but ditched it because the files would be too big". Should that not be up to the end user? Most other major CAD package allow this, and i...

3D STEP export broken?
Hi, I created a PCB in DipTrace Layout 3.3.1.1, for which I imported the outline from a DXF. It shows correctly as a "board outline" and has "board cutouts" for the holes, as intended. The 3D preview looks the way it should. However, once I export a STEP file, the resulting model...

Updating only default net class width?
Hi, I have most of my traces in the "default" class and some other classes. I'd like to globally update the "default" class. I saw this post: https://www.diptrace.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15625 That basically asks the same question but either the answer has changed (when I updat...

Re: Differential pair routing
Hmm. Do you have a recommended workaround to achieve a similar result?

Re: Differential pair routing
Hi,
Is it possible to add meanders to both traces of a differential pair? I want to length match the entire pair to a bus; in other tools you can meander both traces at once.
For example, something like this
Thanks,
Rafael

Copper pour to board cutout issues
Hi, I have a board cutout shape (slot imported from DXF, actually) and some copper pours, but for some reason I can't seem to change the distance between the cutout and the pour. All clearances are set to almost zero (see screenshot), but the keepout around this feature in particular never change. N...

DXF Pattern import problems - arcs
Hello, I'm trying to create very small PCB inductors in DipTrace and I'm having trouble importing smooth DXFs. For some reason it seems like the DXF importer in Layout is different from that in Pattern editor, which is bad. The Pattern editor can't properly import my DXF (fill doesn't work), but the...
