Re: V.5 How to change a screen color in component library?

It works, thank you. Does this not apply to the patterns editor? It has always been dark theme for me in any version.... Just curious to know as I've got used to these dark pattern editor anyways :)

Using any of Ultralibrarian symbol and footprint formats for DT ?

Hello, using the components often from such "giants" as TI and Analog/Linear I noticed that they always have available symbols and footprints for their products, even new ones but all the 12 formats are those which are available in UltraLibrarian. Here is example example of UltraLibrarian ...

V.5 How to change a screen color in component library?

I had the editor screen light color in v.4.3 . Now in v.5.0 the theme is dark color and I don't see any option to change colors. Curiously I found the way to change colors of screen in the Schematic Capture module but not in Component Editor. Was this option before but got removed?
Please help

Re: Copy and paste, repeat the block layout between different PCBs?

This is why I included in my original post this statement:
This V.5 seems to be almost "there" in terms of this powerful feature
It is logical to assume that this feature will be complete in a subsequent release...

Re: Copy and paste, repeat the block layout between different PCBs?

Thank you Alex. Indeed this will allow to make a separate PCB module out of available hierarchical block. Often needed feature in our workflow. As for a more complex PCB importing the same hierarchical block it would involve more work - this new PCB should be first created as individual module havin...

Re: Recommended way to upgrade from v4.3 to v5 for Linux/Wine ?

I should have mentioned that I've been using successfully 32-bit version DT v4.3 even though my Bottles/Wine is 64-bit.
Should I upgrade again to 32-bit or can I use now new 64-bit version with my 64-bit Wine?

Recommended way to upgrade from v4.3 to v5 for Linux/Wine ?

Hello, what is the recommended way to safely upgrade from v4.3 to v5 in Linux Ubuntu ? We use DT using Bottles (internally based on Wine) . If the removal of old version recommended, then can somebody share the steps needed to do a complete cleanup except user data ? Any "left-over" config...

Copy and paste, repeat the block layout between different PCBs?

Hello, I found from the new DT tutorial that it is possible now to copy the layout of a block ( only hierarchical block? ) and paste/repeat it into multiple same blocks within a single PCB. How about this same "save and repeat" feature to apply between two PCBs ? In other words to save/cop...

Status of DipTrace Version 5 tests on Linux?

Hello, happy to learn that DT is making V.5 ready for a stable release. Since all our development computer platforms are Linux ubuntu and I use standard DT 4.3 over Wine, my concern is whether all the features of 5.0 are getting fully tested on Linux / Wine during your development. We are time restr...

Re: Opening solder mask over trace segments

There is a much easier procedure now to open masks for any traces using the polyline tool while providing the needed thickness.
Here is a detail video from Diptrace:
