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

[bancika]

you need to left click...
cheers

I cannot find the download location of the diy layout software anymore on your site?

[bancika]

Yeah, I did little rearanging. Click on software button. I have messed up links (again), but now it's ok.

[hilbi]

ah thanks, it is back again.

One thing I miss in your great program is the function to scroll downwards. Especially with bigger builts, large lists of components appear and you cannot scroll down to them to quick check their values.

[bancika]

I can't promise that, but I will try asap 

[bancika]

I'm uploading new version. Few smaller fixes/improvements and two brand new components: transformers and switches. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Wow thanks!  Just got the new version and great job!  The switches and transformers were much needed!

The only thing is, the transformer's middle pin on the 3-pin side is in between two rows on veroboard...

I love this program!

but since i encounter some difficulties i thought i'd suggest a few things:

- i'd really like a possibility to select multiple parts by selecting them visually with my mouse.
- is it possible to set a track/hole width before i draw them? if not i'd very much like that.
- there were more but i can't think of them right now...

cheers, keep it up

[bancika]

I'll add multi select, working with program for some time showed me necessity of changing something there
IIRC, last used width is default for next track (the same is for hole)
Thanks for suggestions,
Bancika

The pad size stays the same but, not the trace.
As it is now, the trace size needs to be manually changed for each trace because the program keep the default of 5.
Great job though bancika.....I love it!!

[bancika]

will fix that too. tnx

I can confirm the abnormal trace width behaviour.

Also, the switch component should allow adding 1x3 and 3x1 switches, as this is the case for SPDT switches.

[bancika]

oh yeah, I forgot about SP switches

I guess this has been around a little while, but I just found out about it yesterday.  I downloaded it, and I must say, way to go!  No more graph paper and pencil for me!  Unfortunately I can only use it at work, because at home I am a *gulp*... Mac user.  Oh well, lets hope I don't get fired for wasting all of my time making DIY layouts.

[bancika]

I've changed trace width behavior, now it remembers last used width.
As for Mac, you might wan't to try some Win emulators. Maybe it'll work, it's worth a shot.
Many users have problems with uploading files to gallery, caused by firewall blocking internet connection. I'll have to figure out way to submit files without firewall messing round. Most of users just give up on submitting. We all want larger layout gallery, right?
Cheers and tnx to moderator for making this thread sticky 

[didier]

i want a MASSIVE database of diy projects so you never have to draw up anything anymore and programs like these are useless

[bancika]

till then, I changed upload method. Now it's done via web browser which is 100% firewall safe.
Go to http://storm-software.co.yu/diy/index.php?project=layouts to check it out. Next version of software will take you there when you try to submit file.
Cheers

Sorry for double posting but I think it's worth it. I grabbed some time to do few more changes.
I'm uploading even newer version 

• Now you can do multi-select directly on board, just hold Ctrl and right click on any component you like to select
• ICs now look better with rounded edges
• Changed upload method
• Added link to this forum in Help section
• Enabled 1x3, 3x1 switches

I won't be able to work on it for few days because of second project...meanwhile, upload your layouts
Best regards,
Bancika

Bancika, I love it when I click on the check for update button and see that there is indeed something new
You keep making this better and better!

Do you care if I put some hobby circuits on there? I've got a solar garden light that needs repair and did a PCB layout for it. (Not tested yet)

I also have a little flashing light thingy I did on perf awhile back. It makes good flashing eyes for a Halloween pumpkin, skull, ghost, etc. I could easily do a layout for it as well.

Keep up the great work!!!!!

Thanks,
Richard

Sure, anything that can be draw with my software can also be submitted, providing it actually does something. You're welcome to submit.
I tried to make update tool the best possible. Not only does it list feature in last version but it lists all changes between installed and newest version, in case you skipped few updates. Glad it works ok.
