3D Models Not Working Version 4.1.3.1

Just installed version 4.1.3.1 and found several models that do not display properly.
Windows 7 all three graphics modes.

One is broken in both versions . However, it displays properly in FreeCAD.

Through hole IC silk screen

What's up with these 'new' DIP packages? The pin 1 indicator dot is inline with the pin! Now you can not increase the pad size without the silkscreen covering the pad. (U2 is an example) Is there a way to get the old patterns back without creating my own pattern library for all of them? DIP-packages...

3D Models Not Drawn Properly in V4.0.0.4

Some 3D models are not drawn properly in version 4.0.0.4
The issue is that some of the model faces are not being drawn.

Re: Rotating components Text Upside Down

Yes positioning of PCB component text is very annoying now.
The work-around I have found is to use "Position" instead of the normal justification choices.
With the"Position" selection you can select the reference point and text rotation angle.

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release

I found a problem in the Schematic Editor when selecting to "show/hide" of the Part for the "Name".
The "show/hide" Part option for the "RefDes" controls BOTH the "RefDes" and the "Name".

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release

I asked this in previous versions and the question appears to have fallen through the cracks. Schematic Editor: When connecting "without" a wire, the font for the net name is very small. Is there a place to increase its size or can a property be added to allow font size change? See sample:...

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release

I have always used the DirectX graphics mode in versions 2 and 3 on two of my laptops and have never noticed it before. Used with Windows versions: XP, Win7 and Win10. The Windows GDI mode does not show this effect. All the wires are drawn the same width. Weird. Fixed this. In the next build D3D/Op...

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release

The Schematic Editor graphics in version 4 appears to be a step backward from version 3. And I don't remember the inconsistencies in selecting text color (example: text Creation vs Edit). Wondering if they switched to using "Qt" for their cross-platform graphics... Complete rewrite? Didn'...

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release

I hate to complain. But: I'm guessing they want to see any glitches that user's are seeing, so I'd think the complaints are welcome if they're justified. Better to fix stuff like this as soon as possible in the release cycle. The Schematic Editor graphics in version 4 appears to be a step backward ...
