Is it possible to add the ability to use 90/Arcs Routing Mode when routing differential pairs?

Hi,

When designing a product, it would be very useful if the 'Export STEP' function could also export the silkscreen and outer copper layers as the 'Export VRML' already does.
Product designs would be made much easier, for example if these layers could be used in 3D CAD software to aid in routing ...

I also have had need of the feature as described by Tomg.

It would be very useful when creating a plane that doesn't cover the whole board without having to manually trace a complex board outline, especially when curves are involved.

Hi,

I will take some notes and see if there are any patterns or reproduceable sequences of events to trigger the issue.

It seems to be after a number of hours working on a multi layer board, I noticed it on the 10 layer board I am currently working on, but have not had the issue on 2 or 4 layer ...

I've had this issue for a little while now and it's getting worse as my boards get more complex. I'm currently working on a 10 layer board, and it's getting incredibly frustrating to have the software stop, freeze, and perform an unwanted DRC check all the time.

After a while of working in the PCB ...

Cool, thanks.

Length matching would be helpful if possible to implement at a later date.

Hi,

I have a board layout that I want to autoroute only a selection of nets and define them to all be the same length (DDR2 RAM traces).

Is it possible in Diptrace to select some nets and have them autoroute around existing traces and footprints, and have them length matched too?

Unfortunately the design is under NDA so I can't release the files until the legal side of opensourcing is worked out, but I managed to get it imported in a roundabout way by using a 15 day trial version of Altium to import the ODB++ file and then export as an Altium ASCII which I was able to import ...

I'm currently attempting to import an ODB++ file that appears to have been made in Altium Designer, but I am getting the following error when 'Parsing: eda...'

The file subsequently does not open as the operation fails at this ...

I have attached the STEP file of the part, but I just found the cause of the issue anyway. It seems the new renderer trips up on inwards facing normals and possibly non-manifold geometry.
While I was thinking about it, I thought I should check the normals on a whim (I didn't make the original model ...
