Re: Running traces to surface mount pads

Turn off the grid (F11 hot key) to disable grid locking. You can turn it on with F11 when it will be necessary.

Re: Question on Masks

You can preview solder mask in PCB Layout before you exported Gerber files. In any case, solder mask will have the same shape as pad shape but a little bigger.

Re: License info on About window

We haven't done that for ver.2.2 yet, but I will ask developers about this feature.

Re: Question on Masks

DipTrace automatically creates masks for pads in PCB Layout, so you don't need to create the mask in Pattern editor.

Re: Verification Error

Please check spacing between board outline and other objects in DRC rules. If it is > 0, it is reasonable that you got outline error.
I would suggest to create copper pour a little smaller than board outline.

Re: Sheet Templates Missing from Titles and Sheet Setup

It's strange. I don't know why you can't get sheet templates.
Please copy pagestand.dat and stamps.dat files to "C:\Users\All Users\DipTrace\Data\". I am not sure that this will help, but let's try.

Re: MOSFET component

I would suggest to to copy one of existing N-channel mosfets from standard libraries to custom one, then just rename the component.
Regarding attached pattern, you will probably have to create your own pattern because there is no such pattern in standard libraries.

Re: Pin placement requirements

You will be able to connect wires even if pins are not on 0.1 grid. Just click on ends of pins and schematic program will create wire witout assistance.
