DipTrace 4.0 Beta with IPC-7351 libraries
IPC-7351 Pattern Generator | Updated Libraries Redesigned to IPC-7351 Standard |
User interface adapted for 4k monitors | More Powerful PCB design Toolkit
This time most work has centred on developing new and improving existing tools for creating component footprints – you'll find an updated Pattern Editor module with a built-in IPC-7351 Pattern Generator tool that will surely become an important time-saver for DipTrace users. New pad shapes (round rect, D-shape) and standard layers (courtyard, component outline, component terminals) have been added. 3D models can now be generated automatically based on IPC-7351 standard or component outline both in Pattern Editor and PCB Layout.
We have also updated our standard libraries, redesigned them up to IPC-7351 standard and extended to 170,000+ components. Some major improvements have been made to Shape/Text/Picture placement and editing tools, allowing for some advanced options (multi-line text placement at any angle, 3 ways to build or edit arcs, smooth shape dimension editing; vectorization of images; placing text or image as void in silk screen or copper pour; creating board outline from a set of shapes, etc.).
A new flexible Component Marking system that allows unlimited number of markings and enables highly customizable Markings display options has been incorporated into Schematic and PCB Layout.
DipTrace is now optimized for 4K monitors with new sets of tool icons for 150% and 200% scale.
Those and a lot more upgrades meant to improve your design flow and DipTrace experience are awaiting for you in version 4.0.
