Install localization, then copy all .lng files from c:/ProgramData/DipTrace/Data_Unicode to c:/ProgramData/DipTrace Beta/Data_Unicode (ProgramData is hidden by default, so just type the address in explorer address line)

Hi Fazil, not yet - it is specific work, especially making indexes. Some things are not hard to do, but we should think first how to implement them properly.
Push and shove routing and IPC-7351 libraries are our priorities at the moment, so other non-critical things will be delayed at my development branch yet.
Regarding IPC-7351 - many libraries already created/redesigned and we are continually making them, but we need to add and improve some features to add support of such libraries to the software.

Hello,

Great, tested it.

Feedback:

Tried to import from KiCAD:

1.) Schematic: missing component values
2.) PCB: as far as I saw no copper pours are exported

Tried to export to pcb_6.dip to Eagle (and reimport it to KiCAD):

1. Fixed. Update will be published tomorrow.
2. Copper pours outlines present, but they are not poured. You just need to pour them

Yes, this one. We are making special pattern generator and adding features to support IPC-7351C. The picture from our IPC7351 development version is attached:

Beta has been updated today. All changes mentioned above are there.
Our tester continually testing beta on various examples and we plan to publish 3.3 release next week (Monday-Tuesday).
Please let us know if you find any bug in the software.

Awesome guys.

Is it correct that the push and shove will come at the 3.3 release?

I have one other issue.
I mostly work under Linux with Wine and when I try to select a sheet template the program crashes.
I do think this is a Wine issue, but is there otherwise a workaround?
