Pattern Editor - Layers & Objects panels

#1 Post by Tomg » 27 Jul 2015, 02:45

What do all of you think about DipTrace changing the way the Pattern Editor handles Layers and Objects? I'm thinking that a method similar to what is available in the PCB Editor could be implemented. With new Layers and Objects panels, individual Layers and Objects (or a group of Layers/Objects) can be turned on/off for easier footprint creation and editing (see example). Maybe it's just me, but I don't see much value in using the current Pattern Editor Layers panel. Food for thought...

Agreed.

Seems way too obvious, no?

I think you may find several, shall we say, 'discontinuities'. Sometimes it's difficult to go back and revisit earlier work when there are so many 'new' things to do...
