The bottom layer as viewed through Diptrace is a mirrored ''x ray'' view, but I built on this layer as if it was viewed normally. In my recent PCBs I started to use schematics as it makes things a million times easier and this made me realise a fatal flaw with the first PCB I built without any schematic. In one of the first PCBs I designed as part of a larger project I didnt use a schematic, simply built it by eye. Statistics: Posted by carlmart - Today, 08:48 But it seems few or no people is coming around. Let's hope there's someone around that is finding therapeutic to be active on forums like this. ![]() Now I'm back on the saddle with some simpler projects, mostly discrete, nothing digital, little or no SMD parts.ĭue to the present situation, it's quite likely I will have to build the prototypes myself, so I will quite likely work on a single side of the pcb, with as few as possible wires on the component side, for those situations that can be avoided.Īs some of the designs are old and from a time where the industry also built things single sided, thing shouldn't be particularly difficult.ġ) How do you split a trace at a specific point? I didn't find an option like "break trace" as I had used on other pcb programs.Ģ) How do I convert a part I designed, based on an library part transistor, into an active part that I can add to my personal parts library?ģ) Is there a way to know which transistors have which pin assignment, even if they name is different, so I can use on my design? How? Going one by one? ![]() ![]() I do know that I went through the tutorial from beginning to end, designed many components not on the library and mastered all things to make a pro design. It's been close to five years since I designed my last pcb with DipTrace, and my 72 years old age does not make it better to remind how I did things back then
