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

[GGBB]

I'm pretty sure it will.  I think all 3.x version are compatible - at least forward.

EDIT: I think I meant backward - older files will work in newer versions.  But I suspect everyone got that.

cheers gord, ill give it a go later..

[samhay]

I didn't have any problems loading older files.

^ goody gumdrops....cheers sam.

edit: yep works fine...cheers  bancika.

Oi Bancika,

thanks for creating this program, it will cut my layout creation time by a huge amount going from MSPaint to DIYLC! Took me a little while to get it working. Re-dl'ed java, even tho it was up to date and then it worked!

hi bancika:   could we have a POT schematic symbol please..

hi bancika:   could we have a POT schematic symbol please..

My version (3.27.0) has pots on the 'Passive' tab.

On that note, is there any repository of symbols that others have made?

Ooh...ill check that...

Sorry for ignorant question 
I have version 3.7.0 and there appears to be an update? It's version is 3.28.0
Is this an upgrade to 3.7.0 as the number "seems less" than "7". Or is it just me and this is revision #28 as compared to only #7?

Yes - it's #28.

D/L'd right after my comment realizing this. Love the new updated goodies! Lots of great stuff! Thank you!!!
I noticed a Marshall tag/turret board and turret lugs and tube sockets! After looking at the parts list & schem symbols there are a few things which are still needed as I build amps too:

1. Power & output transformer symbols with and without center taps.
2. Standard fuse body & symbol
3. 6.3 and 120vac volt power lights
4. RCA jacks (for reverb/tremolo), and Switchcraft jacks
5. Full wave bridge rectifier
6. IEC socket for 120VAC
7. Power resistor (5watt, 10watt, & larger)
8. Power supply filter capacitors
9. Tag strips - from 2 lugs to 8 lugs

Not trying to be a PITA or picky, just trying to help. Again, a big THANK YOU for everything provided for us! It's made my work better & easier for sure!

Points 7 and 8, you know you can set the size and rating of caps and resistors? Right click and edit the component.

[bancika]

Joe, please file the rest at diylc.org -> Issues (although most should already be files as requests)

Thanks Perrow but I was thinking of the larger sizes to fit onto boards and for E-caps to be radial and not axial.

Done bannica - Thank you again!

[Perrow]

I don't use them but I thought we got radial e-lytes a while ago.

Size is one of the things you can adjust so I guess I don't really understand what it is your after

Done bannica - Thank you again!

Never figured you'd look that tasty

Howdy,
Just downloaded the new version and it's not working. I re-read earlier posts and downloaded the update for Java and it's still a no go. It looks to launch but doesn't appear in the dock.

Using Mac OSX 10.6.8

Any clues?

I'm having a similar problem on OSX 10.7.5 - DIYLC will look like it's loading and bounce the icon in the dock, but then disappear and never load. I just figured it was a problem with my computer bc no one else had mentioned it...

[bancika]

it was reported under issues...I don't have a mac to verify, but apparently Apple screwed up SDK between the two versions, I'm not sure which ones. Many apps stopped working, so they released a patch to fix it. Just make sure you have the latest on whatever OSX you have.
