New 1.2

Jumpers

In this version I have added the auto jumpers.
When you routing,you can invoke jumper list and place the selected jumper on top or on bottom side (SMD jumpers).
Furthermore was added a Jumper report
(X-Y-Side).

Rename Components

With command "AutoRename Reference" is possible to rename all components inside layout.
You can choose:
• The direction (X or Y)
• The length of "Band Width"
• All Reference or only one (e.g. on single side project, is usual rename jumpers)

Furthermore will be create files ASCII for back annotation of several schematic capture like ® Orcad, Protel,Pads....

Alternative Bottom
Component

When we realize a pcb with bottom components (especially SMD) is usefully, first of all, to push the component on the other side and when pushed,the possibility to change the footprint.
Into component library there is the field "Alternative Bottom Component" where you can set the bottom footprint.
When the pcb is wave soldered, usually the bottom footprint is slightly different,instead when the pcb is reflow soldered you can keep the same footprint.
This setting is at:
Setup-->Option-->Bottom Soldering.

Net Class Color

During the routing is very useful to know, at a glance, what are the net class through different colors.
e.g. display in a different way the GND rather than the net VDD or high voltage ....

PhotoView

You can look at the printed circuit board in a real view, as if it had been carried out, showing through holes, slots, the silkscreen etc....

In a moment, you can see for example, if the silk and references are placed well or end up on the pads, get an idea about circuit, check if the components are on the correct side etc. ...

Decal Type

It is now possible to classify the components as:
-- Surface Mount (SMD)
-- Through Hole
-- Mixed (Pins Mixed)
-- Jumpers SMD
-- Jumpers TH
-- Drawing (Only graphics)

Ex: you can enter in the project components which do not require export of reference or include them in the DRC such as tables - screws - metal brackets etc. ...
