Thanks for that fast reply! I found the Data_Unicode files and see there are indeed many old files in there plus many that I already updated recently. That problem is solved!
I'll see if I can find out more about the graphics situation. Could be my hardware acting badly.

Best regards,

Maybe it's just me but with the latest version of DipTrace 5.1 (not sure if it happened with .0.0 or .0.1) I lost all my settings from previous versions, including colors, custom vias, and custom trace widths. Can they be imported from a previous version? My design rules seems to have been preserved ...

It may have been there for a while but I just noticed that both the schematic and layout windows now re-open at the same size as when they were previously closed. Yay!!! One of my "wish list" items has been fulfilled. Thanks to DipTrace!

Yes - problem fixed! You guys are great and fast, too. Thanks so much.

Problem just encountered after switching to v4.0. In Print Preview, for both Schematic and PCB Layout, the design or pcb always shows with a white background but prints with a black background! There is no control under Print Colors for the background, which always printed in white for previous ...

I tried hitting F10 to get into the mode of moving the identifiers, then selecting say R7 with the mouse to make it move. But once you touch an arrow key, Diptrace bounces you out of that mode and the identifier is no longer selected. Doesn't matter if you hold the left button down either. Another ...

Looked at it but did not know how to apply to the arrow movement. Any specifics on how to do that?

Thanks for the feedback and ideas. I'm still learning about what DipTrace already has in it even after about 4 years of using it. In response to the specifics:
1. (window opens the same size as when last closed) - still no joy on that.
2. ("replace part" for a group) - Had not noticed that option ...

Yes! I found the alignment tool months later in that menu. It works fine. Can be removed from my "nice to have" list. thanks!

I really like DipTrace, especially in comparison to Eagle which I was using for years. DipTrace is much more intuitive, using the Windows interface instead of old CAD-style. Besides the many suggestions already made, there are few things that would make using the program a bit easier:
1. When you ...
