After registering Diptrace version 4, then mapped drives became visible. Maybe just a feature not available in eval version. All is well in that regard!
There is no difference of this feature for 3.3, registered 4.0 and unregistered 4.0
I suppose the reason is temporary network unavailability.
This will have to do with UAC. This will occur when you let the installer start the Launcher. Any programs started from that Launcher will have no network access. If you start an application and look at task manager its "UAC Virtualisation" will be "Not allowed". If you run it from the Start menu it will be "Disabled" and you will have network access. This is not unique to DipTrace, many programs that get started by the installer do this as well. I always untick the start program from the installer when installing software for this reason.

Cheers

Thank you Simon.
Very good to know this top tip. Makes perfect sense now.

Hello!
To support team:
1) Is it possible to add different selectable colors for pins and wires in sch?
2)How can I disable automatic refdes numbering in sch?

The same story with SMD pads and wires in pcb

This is not possible at the moment

Hi,

In Schematic Capture, would it be possible to add a +9V, -9V, +18V and -18V as built in values to the Components > Symbols folder with the other voltages that are there.
I know that they, the voltages, could also just be made by hand but there are a lot of guitar fx pedal builders that use this software and I think that
they, as well as myself, would be greatly appreciative if these voltages were made to be default values in the program.

I know that this is a little thing, but I know that it would make many people happy. I think it would very easy to do.

Thanks,
Dave

To all:
It is now MAY 1st, still no 4.x0 release. How about holding back requests for tweaks until AFTER 4.0 gets done? Focus on issues with 4.0 beta, check to see if they have been reported before reporting anything you find wrong.

Every time someone requests 'something' it distracts the developers and extends the release date, everyone should focus on letting the developers finish 4.0!

This. There are so many improvements btw 3.x and 4.x that surely we can manage for a while. The important thing is to finalize the product properly asap, i.e. remove the remaining bugs.

I think that you are correct about Delphi (or any other win programming language) not allowing you to peel off any form element that doesn't have its own handle, and drag it to another monitor.
