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

Tiny bug on 3.40.0: The default project font reverts to Tahoma if I ever undo with Ctrl+Z.

Keep up the good work

I would love some function that automatically fills all the ground traces.. like effectslayout blog layouts.

That would be nice indeed.

I know David (aka storybordist: a genius, btw) use Photoshop for that.

At least download paint.net free, simple and competent.

anyone with a Mac computer willing to run a quick experiment? I'm trying to upgrade to java 8 and wanted to make sure that it runs on macs that only have java 8 and not java 6.

thanks,
Bane

[~arph]

Yup,

I only have 1.8.0_121

[bancika]

Lovely, I uploaded a prototype to http://diy-fever.com/temp/DIYLC.app.zip
In theory, it should work as long as 3rd party apps are enabled in the gatekeeper.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Bane

I replaced the existing DIYLC in applications. When I start it it prompts me for legacy Java SE 6.
I have no gatekeeper I think. I am running High Sierra (10.13.3)

[bancika]

so my change didn't work

thanks, I'll keep digging.

[~arph]

No problem..

[~arph]

I  did a little experiment.

In the Info.plist file I replaced the Java keyword with JavaX

Then when I click it I get the 'this application is damaged message'.  after:

sudo codesign --force --sign - /Applications/DIYLC.app

I can't run it because it is untrusted. Then I say open anyway in preferences. WhenI open it, I get prompted for java SE 6 again. 

So nothing seems fixed, but it does seem that the version you gave me is trusted by default now/or that the Java key is triggering the dialog before the trust check.

Enabling 3rd party apps from unknown developers is quite tricky in current versions of OSX, since the "Anywhere" choice is not there anymore - unless you disable Gatekeeper from the command line.

Double clicking the prototype gives the familiar "app is damaged and can't be opened" dialog caused by Gatekeeper.

However, running it from the command line works just fine. In that case, Gatekeeper is not triggered. The command is:

~/Downloads/DIYLC.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub (assuming you unzipped it in Downloads)

I have only Java 1.8 ("1.8.0_102" to be exact). There are a lot of exceptions when the app starts; the GUI comes up fine though. I did not test it any further.

[~arph]

When I run it command line, I still get the legacy java 6 dialog

[bancika]

they are making it increasingly complicated for me to maintain DIYLC for OSX 
They push to upgrade to java 8...but with java 8 it seems that I need to build the app under OSX to be able to run on OSX...and then there's the whole signing BS. I know very little about macs and I don't own a mac, a and that becomes a problem. I'm thinking about dropping the OSX build and just leave the command line option.

Btw, ~arph, that's curious because I built the app using java 8, how can it still ask for legacy java? In manifest file it says

Created-By: 1.8.0_121-b13 (Oracle Corporation)

what rockola found makes sense to me, command line should work. Hmm...f'ing apple

[cctsim]

in 3.40 version, is it possible to have the value of a resistor inside the resistor like the one the left resistor on the image below ?

[cctsim]

I meant to say like the one on the right resistor !

[GGBB]

It normally does look like the right side one.

[bancika]

Yes, it shouldn't look like the one on the left. How did you get it to look like that? What's your OS?
