I just discovered this - Thank you! Absolute lifesaver!
You don't want to know how many hours I spent trying to do this the hard way!

Re: Resize Hierarchy Blocks
PLEASE implement this! - it's now 15 years since the original request.
DipTrace say they have been 'planning to implement this feature' for 8 years now, it can't be that hard! - many other EDP packages have this capability.
Ability to use other shapes for a hierarchy block would be great too - but ...

Re: Placing Resistors (or Caps etc) at 45 degrees
The only way I have found to do it, is to specifically create a 45º component.
I now have RES45-300, RES45-0805, DIO45-DO35 and DIO45-SOD123 in my libraries
It's really about time that DipTrace added this feature - it already exists in the PCB module

Re: unusual trace editing behavior
Possibly related to the above report.
DipTrace 4.3.0.2, PCB Layout, Manual 45º/90º routing selected.
Place a static via close to a pad and route a trace to it like this:

Re: 45 degree wires in schematic?
I’d like to see this too, I do a lot of design with inductors and transformers, and sometimes you need to show a crossover this way to make it clear what’s actually going on. It would also be nice to be able to rotate components similarly, eg to clearly show topologies like diode bridge -v- diode ring

Component with internal net
I have an unusual requirement for a component with an internal net. It’s a 12-pole rotary switch with 3 identical sections which I can place anywhere on the schematic as (for example) SW1-1, SW1-2 and SW1-3. The rotary contact of each section is actually common and doesn’t come out to a pin, but I ...
