diptrace schematic problem

#1 Post by feliciacamp » 16 May 2025, 04:04

Hello,
I've been using DipTrace for years but have never tried creating a schematic until now. I'm having trouble getting it to work. When I open the schematic and select a part to place, the part appears on the cursor, but when I click to place it, it disappears and doesn't get placed. After that, I can't select another part; I have to close the program and restart it, but the same issue happens again.

I suspect something isn't set up correctly. I've watched tutorials but still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for the report but I have never seen the issue. Could you create screen video to show the problem and share on the forum.

Yikes, that must be annoying :roll: . I wonder if it’s a layer or grid setting causing it. Has anyone managed to fix this in DipTrace?

This may be related to the graphics mode. Try changing it in View / Graphics Mode. If that doesn’t help, please record a video and share it.
