Re: Alternate parts in Hierarchal Blocks

Then consider adding the possibility to pass parameter for a hierarchical sheet. So lets say, in the hierarchical sheet properties you will have a parameter editor where you can specify: %RefDes_%Index_%ParameterName = %Value Where; %RefDes : Editable by user but annotation must be done first %Index...

Re: Import DXF as filled pad (for Top Paste)

I tried different settings in the Import DXF tool. I can correctly map the DXF layers to the Diptrace layers with the "Convert to" tool, but it seems I cannot fill a closed closed area with the checkmark "Fill closed area" checked. Ok, here is how you can do it. I ran into the s...

Re: Facility to incrementally move groups of components by specified amount

+1 on that feature. A translation tool which allow to move multiple selected object or a group of object (pattern, traces, holes, vias ... well any object) by a precise amount would be welcome. In addition, using math operator in coordinate field would be great. The format could be something like th...

Re: Pick and place reports on 4.2.0.1

Current Variant Support Implementation Too Basic

Ok, I was really happy when I saw that Diptrace 4 will get variant support. But, I must admit, I'm really disappointed by how it was done. Here is why: Because it is only supported in PCB Editor and not in SCH Editor; I'm asking what's the point of having a schematic which doesn't reflect your assem...

Re: "group to layout"

Thank you for explaining how the feature works in Altium. We will consider implementing it and rooms in DipTrace. Actually, the "Place parts inside rectangle" feature speed up placement a lot but it is only limited to placement. Rooms has several extra advantages not only related to place...

Re: Component Editor - Fill Colour

Fill Color With Opacity (+1).
Then in that case, object display order (like layer order in the component editor of 2.4) must be back.
