I'd say it's 150dpi

great bancika, standing resistors work fine !

other features ?

- possibility to specify x and y holes on stripboard and perfboard (20x30, ecc...), rather than dimension them only by mouse..

anyway good job !

Should be possible to do...I also need to add row and column labels for these two.

Can I suggest a "Show labels? (yes/no)" switch for this.

And another feature request: Merge project (i.e "Open" without clearing the current project). I know I can do it with copy paste, but sometimes it feels more natural to merge. Possibly need some form of transposing of the imported project so it doesn't collide with existing parts.

Maybe I could make all the components of the imported project selected by default so you can drag them around.

any news on the scarlett johannsen cooking a casserole, picture import option?...

No luck yet Kim Kardashian offered her ghetto bootty for splash screen but I turned her down 

[deadastronaut]

shame!..

Yes, that would work.

Component suggestion, tape measure. I'd love to be able to just drag a tape measure to the drawing to show the size of a board.

Kinda like this:

Your just trying to steal credit for the idea

Feature request: Hide layers function?

Feature request: Thin toolbar with (that can be hidden) with hide/lock layer buttons, some config options, open/save ... Nice to see/change quickly which features are enabled.

Praise: Nice to see that things that aren't aligned to grid doesn't snap back to "on grid" when moved as part of a selection where something is aligned to the grid.

Bug: I do feel though that when moving parts that aren't on the grid, but with "snap to grid" enabled the pieces should keep their "off-grid'ishness" and not snap back to the grid, i.e. act like there was something I moved that was "on" the grid.

Heartbreak: I miss the option of holding down the ctrl-key to disengage "snap to grid".


ps. I've begun using this app "for real" now, can you tell

Bug: Labels for the standing resistors?

Feature request: Click the labels in the list of selected items to select only that part. Nice when there's a lot of overlapping parts and traces and you want to select just one of them without locking layers.

I'll add shift for toggling snap to grid, ctrl is used for un-snapping. I'll think about the other comments, thanks!

Un-sticky-ing you mean. That's nice, hadn't found that one. I really should give the manual a glance

[Perrow]

While I remember, a function to "add missing solder pads", that adds solder pads for every component leg that doesn't already have one right under it. I tend to add all pads that aren't for off board wiring or jumpers as the last thing. Would be nice to have it automated, even though the "continuous creation" setting is a bless.

[bancika]

that's a cool idea
