DipTrace 4.0 Release
Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release
In 4.0 pad dimensions, paste/mask and pad terminals are recorded to standard pad settings and if you change one of these for particular pad it becomes non-standard, same if you check "Pattern's Pad Properties" option, it uses dimensions, paste/mask and terminals from standard pad properties. It differs from 3.3 and earlier, but this is a way to go for further modifications (Pad Stack, etc). UI is a bit cumbersome though - I will try to change it shortly.
Updating all patterns are in to-do list for 4.0, but I didn't make it yet (we have custom algorithms for internal use, but they should be modified for release and UI should be made).

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release
Thanks for the update.
The only strange part, is that if I zoom-out, and zoom-in again, everything seems to look fat and "selected".
If I just click on some empty space, it goes back to normal again.

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release
I noticed the following bug while in PCB Editor:
Right click on a SMD pad and change the type to Through-Hole. The window will expand to show additional through-hole options but the "Hole" settings will be grayed out and unselectable. When you click "OK" and reopen the dialog the problem is gone. You shouldn't have to reopen the window to access through-hole options when changing a pad type.
Tested in DipTrace PCB Editor Full V4.0.0.2

Concerns Schematic
When I place a dual opamp (LT1013CN8) only one appears on the screen.

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release
I confirm this in PCB Layout (Pattern Editor is ok). Fixed for the next update.

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release
I asked this in previous versions and the question appears to have fallen through the cracks.
Schematic Editor:
When connecting "without" a wire, the font for the net name is very small.
Is there a place to increase its size or can a property be added to allow font size change?
See sample:

Re: DipTrace 4.0 Release
Teardrop issue using 4.0.0.1. Scenario: a net with a thru-hole pad, a via, and an SMT pad. When right-clicking on the TH pad and adding a teardrop to the "Selected Objects", teardrops are applied to the via even though it wasn't selected. I see no way to add a teardrop to the TH pad without also having it on the via. I like the extra strength of the teardrop on the TH pad where a wire is mounted but I see no need for it on the via.
