yeah, it can get slow with many components. Program is hand-draing everything on screen and transparency takes lots of CPU.
skiraly017, I don't understand. Sort it where? They are sorted in explorer and components list below board.

In the component list, they are in the order they were added. If you add R5 and then R1, the order will be R5-R1 etc...

I suppose that's what you noticed skiraly017

Sort of. I realized I could just rename them as well. See what happens when you stay up late playing with design software? You're all sorts of fuzzy the next day.  :icon_mrgreen:

Im a perfectionist - so if something gets changed, everything below it must be changed. Is there an option to turn the listing off?

Im just adding labels now. Sorry another another q: With words, how do you change font size, if at all possible. It's getting a bit cramped. Guys, with the EZvibe, do you want really neat holes for things all grouped together, or just dispersed a bit? I like them together, but if its easier, Ill just leave them seperated a bit.

Bancika, even I started to use your program! Good stuff, too bad there's no component rotating!

10 thumbs up! :)

Hey guys/gals

Bancika, using the newest version of your software, i get the square pads for diodes, ICs and electros, when i render an image they appear, but not when I render a Pnp.

Finally finished the Easyvibe layout! Just need to get myself a gallery. There are 2 parts - the .diy file, and accompanying image file.

this software is actually amazing, but i thought i might make a request i made earlier.

Is there anyway to minimize the track lengths by utilising the computer program, surely all that needs to be done is fix the location of relative pins and let the computer re-arrange the tracks and component to optimum locations for minimum track lengths?

the potential for this program is incredible, if all the projects here were moved over to the file format then mods could easily be implemented in pcb layouts. It'd be a revolution in diy stompboxes!

I know it would be nice, but also not so easy to implement. Not easy at all...

Another last night last night...this software is like a drug and I swear I can quit anytime I want to.  :icon_rolleyes:

Killer program Bancika, just waiting for my next paycheck so I can donate to the cause.

I have a question about the layout gallery. If I right click on an individual file and choose "Save As", the file saves as a text (.txt) file not a .diy file. Any idea why? Am I doing something wrong?

In Firefox it works, IE also. Which browser are you using?
Anyway, just jange ext back to .diy and it'll work. DIY files are XML which is plain text.
