Re: PCB Layout editor - Hide Silk Drawings

Instead of "Hiding Silk Drawings", maybe the user could be allowed to dynamically edit pattern Silk layers, for that immediate use, without affecting the permanent pattern ? OR, could a priority scheme be developed which would determine for a specific or given area, what would be placed on...

Re: Unlocking "Nets"

Unfortunately, none of this worked. The objects were unlocked and I also tried checking and unchecking the "Lock NEt Structure", also to no avail. I am using Ver 3.3.0.0 presently. Might this be the cause of the problem I am experiencing as I do not recall ever having had this problem befo...

Diptrace 3.3.0.1

When I uploaded Version 3.3.0.0 , all appeared to go well. Approximately a week later, I received an online invitation to upload Ver. 3.3.0.1 . I found this strange after only 1 week. Unfortunately, Ver3.3.0.1 erased my personal library of parts, of which I have created several dozen custom parts th...

Color change of selected components in "Design Manager" (PCB Layout)

When I try and locate components on the bottom side, by selecting them in the "Design Manager" panel...they do not change color to assist in locating them. I changed the "Layer" color, but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong, or is it possible that this function simply does n...

Re: "Overlining" text

I am using Diptrace Ver. 3.2.0.1 (November 1, 2017) . Does this have any bearing on the problem ?
