hi everyone.

upgraded to 5.1 and now I have a strange issue that I can't resolve.

when I click on a net it highlights like is should. But once in a while, when I click on another net, the first one won't unhighlight. That's an issue, because if I want to see all the GND nets, and for whatever ...

Flux!
That actually worked great! A little fine tuning here and there, but I think that's most doable. Thanks for the tip

Thanks... will give it a try... much more complex than I was thinking. I know I can make arcs but for the life of me can I make perfect circles.

I want to make a round pcb, got that done, no problem. However, I'd like to have a round trace .250 wide that goes around the circumference of the pcb, like a tire on a wheel.

I need the round traces to provide a good RF ground around some connectors.

I'm up for suggestions

My old windows 7 computer at last gave up the ghost

So new to me windows 11 machine

Downloaded and installed the current 4.xx version. works fine, except I cant get the program to display my libraries. I can see them, there's files inside the folders, but can't seem to get diptrace to find them ...

hI, thanks for the tips.... I have the default mode selected on the pcb layout. I verified mouse buttons are off. I'm going to load diptrace onto my laptop and see how it reacts there with the same mouse.
fingers crossed!

Hi everyone

I must have changed something and I don't know what it is.
in pcb layout, if I click on a part, a trace, a mounting hole, 95% of the time a dialog box opens up. click on a mounting hole, and I get a mounting hole dialog. Try and move a trace and I get a net dialog box.

This issue is ...

Gang,

when running DRC on a project, I get an error about spacing

gap= .000000919 rule .006

Now .006 is a lot larger than .000000919, so what does DRC kick an error back?

Since I wasn't, so far, able to get past the robot, how does one find out that the JCSC part numbers are?

mike

Thanks...
I have a small pcb with a dozen or so parts. Common as salt, but haven't been able to get pass the robot file checker. I'll give it a try. The parts are 99% resistors in the 1206 size. One transistor and two LEDs.I was hoping to see a few bucks per board.

Thanks.

Mike
