Re: Netlist page view for comparison of PCB and Schematic nets

Yes still waiting on this one "Cross referencing Nets in Diptrace PCB and Schematic for correlation" - An easy way to compare nets in PCB and Schematic, that would allow for the simplicity of an exportable or printable file of all nets inclusive in both PCB, and Schematic, that would allow...

Re: Net List Export.

Still waiting for the printable or exportable Net list facility, surely cant be too difficult to implement, would make life a whole lot easier on comparing schematic to pcb,
with a whole lot less convolution.
Hope you can get onto it Diptrace. Thank you.

Re: Tear Drop Pads

Expanding... our pcbs generally involve ICs with pins on 2.54 mm/ 0.1" spacings. These have to have a pad to solder to, and as a matter of common practice, the pads are 1.27mm to 1.6mm diameter, much larger than a 0.25mm trace. The junction of a 0.25mm trace touching a 1.27mm pad leaves sharp n...

Netlist page view for comparison of PCB and Schematic nets

As a further query on Comparing Schematic Net connections to PCB Net Connections. It would truly simplify comparing schem nets to pcb nets if Diptrace software allowed for a complete compilation list showing all circuit nets and each net component connections as a viewable on screen list and also av...

Re: Net List Export.

Yes a Netlist from Diptrace PCB as a viewable on screen file and also printable file to compare to same type Viewable and printable Diptrace Schematic Netlist, would make the whole process of comparing and verifying schematic against PCB a lot easier, and less convoluted than getting everything matc...

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

Thanks for the reply, While a customized movement amount for grouped components would be nice, similar to how illustrator works. I see that same can easy be achieved within the custom grid size and arrow movement facility, making it simple easy enough to accomplish accurate placements. Cheers. :)

Diptrace Pick and Place reorientation for components placement

Is there some way in Diptrace to re orient the particular direction a specific component is placed as in the pick and place file readout . The problem I encounter every time I submit an order for SMD PCB population at JLCPCB, is that all the SMD electrolytic caps and most all the SMD transistors als...

Facility to incrementally move groups of components by specified amount

A facility to move groups of components incrementally by specified amount of measurement would make it a whole lot easier to copy paste from one board to another a complete PCB layout and then easily align to suit position requirement. There is something similar featured in Adobe Illustrator, a litt...

Diptrace Gerber Files show Empty Bottom Paste layer! Why?

For some unknown reason first time ever encountered, I have finished my PCB design and tried to have it fabricated and find my Gerber file PCB preview will not show as usual on the Fabricator website order process. I subsequently found the problem seems to be the complete Bottom Paste Gerber file is...
