The list of new features and bug fixes:
Zoom on Undo/Redo - options added, main zoom mode has been corrected.
Routing by NumLock keyboard option (NumLock should be ON).
Grid Snap option - allows to turn off snap, but keep grid visible.
Status Bar now displays current mode, current view (normal/mirrored) and grid snap.
Fixed - Saving/Opening files with extra large and extra small grid size may cause program crash.
Fixed - Possible reducing gap between diffpair fanout vias (to diffpair primary gap).
Fixed - Calling of Table/Title Block Cell dialog window if cell was highlighted at design area border, then no mouse move event, and the next event mouse click outside the cell (to close menu or dialog).
Fixed - Change board side worked incorrectly for independent text objects within groups.
Fixed - Placement by list do not move groups properly.
Fixed - Slow trace optimizations on placement algorithms.
Fixed - Title block fields do not show current item properly in PCB Layout/Title and Sheet Setup/Title Blocks.
Fixed - Empty dropdown in Schematic/Connection Manager when you delete the last net.
Fixed - Incorrect rotating of irregular polygonal pad in Pattern Editor rotate group feature.
Fixed - Changing component position via Properties panel do not change dimensions, connected to the component.
Fixed - Eagle Import: net-class table is not imported correctly if it includes netclass with empty name.

Re: DipTrace 3.3 Release
Excellent! Thank you very much for all of those fixes.
Im not sure I understand what the "routing by NumLock" option is? Is there any further documentation on what that does?
Thanks

Re: DipTrace 3.3 Release
Start to route trace, then if you turn on numlock (numlk) key in the right side of keyboard, the keys 7,8,9,4,6,1,2,3 on the right side of keyboard can be used for routing. This option was also requested by users.Im not sure I understand what the "routing by NumLock" option is? Is there any further documentation on what that does?

Re: DipTrace 3.3 Release
What operation? Please provide more details. I have tried placing, editing and moving shapes and pads - it works properly in both cases (if snap is on or off). This feature required small tweaks to each grid-associated feature, our testers tried to test all things, but some operations may be missed.Ford Prefect wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 02:51 novarm44 - Snap to Grid command is NOT working in the Pattern Editor application

Then select 'Line' to create a line and draw a line. Then with the Grid Snap set to ON move the line left and right.
The line does not snap to the grid and the line can be placed anywhere and does not snap.
Re: DipTrace 3.3 Release
When grid snap option is on and you move line which is off the grid (placed with snap off or without grid), it is moved with the grid step, but points are not snapped. To snap it, try to move its points. If we snap off-grid objects to the grid when you move them, we may change those objects, so it doesn't work in such way.Ford Prefect wrote: ↑30 Nov 2018, 04:20 Open the Pattern Editor application and select 'New' (Ctrl+N) from the Library pull down menu option.

I think I must've had the grid size set so low that it appeared that the line was floating and not snapping.
Also, It is quite difficult to see the grid in 'Component Editor' is there any way of changing the grid colour and/or background?
