DIY Layout Creator - software for easy drawing PCB, vero and perfboard layouts

[bancika]

Hmmm, that's pretty much impossible. I didn't touch anything printer related...damn
Can anyone confirm this, I don't have a printer to test with
Cheers

bancika,
Here's the message I get when trying to print PNP
"could not convert variant of type (OleStr) into type (Boolean)"
I hope this helps.

[bancika]

does the same message occur when you try to render pno?
Can you mail me (or just uplaod to gallery) layout you have problem with, it looks that it's an error when reading DIY file
Tnx

[markm]

Yes,
It happens when trying to render PNP as well.
I will mail you the file bancika.

[bancika]

Thanks Mark, it's been fixed. Something I changed in file structure messed it up.
When I add some new feature(s) I'll upload new version
Cheers

FANTASTICO 
Please let me know if possible.
Thank you bancika.
BTW, the updates are cool

I just updated and am getting the same message when trying to print PNP....

[lerxstlover]

Here's a quick fix:

I installed an older version (not sure if necessary).

I opened the .diy file in notepad and edited out the extra information in the <trace> node (color, etc. and took the "px" out of the width parameter) and it is working again.

[bancika]

yeah, the error occured when it tries to convert "15px" to number..
anyway, it's fixed now. I'm uploading update. Also, I've added inline vertical trimmers, so I hope it covers all types now 
Cheers

I hate those....I'm a Delphi programmer since v1.  It's always the little things 

I don't know if you fixed it in the new version or not, but when you select several elements (say, 4 or 5 solder pads, for example) and then use the move keys, it moves all the elements on the board.  I've only used it in PCB mode so I don't know if it does that or not in the other modes.  I sometimes will try to shrink down the size of the board so I'll select several elements at once to move them over.

[bancika]

strange, it should not hapen. Make sure that category icons in Explorer are not selected. If category icon is selected all components in that category are considered selected...

[lerxstlover]

Nope...I just tried it again and made sure only the 4 items were selected and all of them moved.

[bancika]

can you please make a screenshot and post it...
Tnx

Lol, this thread should have its own forum!

Ok, I figured it out.....when you hold CTRL and LEFT click in the explorer, you can move just the ones you select.

When you are on the board and hold CTRL and RIGHT click on the components, it not only selects the components in the explorer but also the section header in the explorer so all components in that section move.

This is a great program, but to finish it off, how about you integrate the entire Mouser catalog so that when we're done with the layout we just hit an order button and it automatically orders and pays for everything from Mouser, has it shipped overnight and bills everything to Bill Gates? 

[bancika]

yeah, I was thinking about order stuff. I just have to find company thst' willing to do some kind sponsorship

bancika,
I get the same error message as before when trying to print or render PNP after making minor changes to a layout. 
Any quick fix for this??

[bancika]

no way 
can you please send new layout for testing
cheers

Same here.
I am using version I downloaded last night (24hrs ago).
Problem is in the pad & trace values. When you check values "px" is added to the end of the value & if you delete the "px" off the end it works.
Hope that helps.

[bancika]

yeah, I fixed for pads but forgot to do it for traces 
Tnx for notifying...
