DRC red circles

I made a board that has a potentiometer mounted on the back side of the board (soldered in on the top side) with a bottom silk silhouette showing its location on the back. Most of the parts are thru hole and placed on the top side of the board. The solder locations, on the back side, that touch the ...

Path to pattern/ can't find

Hi all, Awhile back I made a capacitor with a pattern and everything for it. When I use schematic capture the part I made is there with it's attached pattern; it works great. But, when I go to the pattern editor the attached pattern is not listed, and I can't find it. I have spent a bunch of time tr...

Re: Voltage Values

I understand what has been said, but, like I said before, I am not just thinking of me, I am thinking of all the people that use this program that may not be as experienced as me and you. All I am trying to do is to have particularly 9V be added as native values to the Components > Symbols folder wi...

Re: Voltage Values

Sure it would be easy to do but the point of my post was to have these voltage values built in as a native part of the software. I wrote directly a few times and I was told that they would be part of the next update twice but.... Like I said before, there are many guitar/ musical FX builders that us...

Voltage Values

Hi, In Schematic Capture, would it be possible to add a +9V, -9V, +18V and -18V as built in values to the Components > Symbols folder with the other voltages that are there. I know that they, the voltages, could also just be made by hand but there are a lot of guitar/ musical fx pedal builders that ...

The Silks, Top Vs Bottom

Hi, I recently made a part, a potentiometer, that is to be mounted on the back side of the circuit board. Along with that, I made a bottom silk that shows the shape of the potentiometer and a top silk that places a box around where the leads of the pot will protrude through the circuit board. What I...

Re: Output file directories

DipTrace memorizes where you saved files of each type last time and offers to save new files to the same folders. I figured this out, but it would be nice if diptrace had a projects option that would create/ store all of the files for a given project in its own sub-directory. It would even be nicer...

Output file directories

Hi, Is there a way to control where Diptrace puts its output files? I find that they are being put into my "Documents" documents directory. It would be nice if there was a way (Is there?) to create a user controlled directory for each project that is worked on. I would not even mind if I h...

Making a single pad to connect a wire to.

Hi, I just made a few pads to solder a few off circuit board wires to but it did not turn out the way I like. When I tried to convert the schematic to a PCB the software connected some of them together. I used: net ports -> port1 and then added a single (thru hole) pad from the place a pad in the to...
