Against my better judgement, I gave it a chance and honestly, it’s actually much more stable than some native OS X apps I’ve used! Everything just worked, I’ve still never had it crash on me, the 3D rendering worked perfectly. Why? It’s not native, they’ve wrapped a slightly modified Windows version into a WINE Bottle. The initial reason I tried DipTrace is because it’s one of the few tools to have a Mac version! When I downloaded and opened it for the first time, I almost dismissed it outright. I was already a happy user and approached them for sponsorship.)
#DIPTRACE WINDOWS 8.1 ISSUES LICENSE#
(Full Disclosure: They’re a sponsor of my book, providing me an Extended (6-Layer) license in exchange for showing some screenshots of schematics or board designs throughout the book.
If it works out, I’ll upload a new version of the package, with pin names (silk layer) etc in Really glad you like DipTrace! When you get ready to buy let me know and I’ll give you a discount code. I’m keen now to see if that was a bug in Wings (which it looked like, actually) or just KiCAD. P.S: KiCAD choked on an image layer I had added to the Spark Core 3D package. I was blown away to see my board fully routed in under a second and looking sensibly done and all.Įrr … end of unsolicited, impromptu review! Oh and this one was even auto-routed by Diptrace, saving me hours! The Diptrace auto-router is one of, if not the best I’ve ever seen. Just for kicks, here’s a 3D rendering (image) from Diptrace of the project I had just completed in KiCAD – re-designed from scratch in Diptrace. At under $400 for my needs, it’s a bargain for such a well design product, I reckon!
Much nicer to use than Eagle IMHO, and even the free version has no physical board size limits, which is great! (As you know, it is limited to 300 component pins) – which is great! I’m definitely going to buy Diptrace for my 4-layer designs.
#DIPTRACE WINDOWS 8.1 ISSUES SOFTWARE#
More than though, I just wanted to thank you for mentioning Diptrace! I’ve spent the past couple days learning the software and I really like it. But I guess you could do so again, just to be sure.) (You probably already downloaded the latest version already. The 3D package is more accurately sized, now. wrl files for the Spark Core module a couple times since my last reply.
