Re: DipTrace 5.0 beta

Push and Shove Router is the biggest planned feature for 5.0 release, but it is not included in beta yet - debug and integration are currently in process.
What a bummer. It's the only feature I'm really waiting for since 2.0 or so.

Re: IPC-7351 pattern generator fails on creating a 3D model

Thanks, my bad. It's a bit confusing though that "L" exists twice in the IPC-7351 dialog with different meanings. On the left side, it's the pin/leg length, on the right side, it's the pad length. Anyway, it shouldn't just throw a generic error message for implausible values, should it? I ...

IPC-7351 pattern generator fails on creating a 3D model

I used the IPC-7351 pattern generator to create a pattern for the Texas Instruments THS7374: Diptrace IPC-7351 TSSOP14.png The pattern itself works fine, but I noticed that I didn't get a 3D model in the 3D view of my PCB layout. I looked into this and when a try to preview the 3D model inside the p...

Re: Push and Shove Development

Wow, it's finally coming? Looks pretty good in the first demos!
Does this also work when moving a part with several connections like a 16pin header or an TSSOP20?

Re: DipTrace 4.3 release

And again no push'n'shove? Really? It's really hard to swallow down my disappointment this time as it's now at least a decade (!!!) since the first statement that this will be implemented. I mean it's great that DipTrace is even still worked on under the current circumstances, but after all these ye...

Re: DipTrace 4.2 Release

Well, I reported this three years ago, so I don't expect it to be fixed for another 5-6 years or so given the typical speed of fixing things. And yes, push'n'shove was promised for much, much longer.

Re: Creating hires renders of top/bottom view

For the time being, I'm using this site to create Hires renderings of the PCB from the gerbers. The only drawbacks are that you need to create the gerbers and that you can't directly export PNG.Visual quality is pretty much what I was looking for though.

Improve editing of buses

I used (address/data) buses a lot lately and found that while this is very helpful features, but I'd think there's room for improvement. First of all, buses don't behave like normal wires, so it's visually impossible to tell if two intersecting buses (of the same of different type) are actually conn...
