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

[tombaker]

Hi,
I updated Java and also ran all updates for my mac and OS and am still having the same problem,
should i raise the issue once more or is it still pending resolve?
Thanks

[tombaker]

Meanwhile...
Does anyone have the previous version of DIYLC that they could dropbox me?
I got excited and deleted the old version before this one started bugging on my computron.

If you a running time machine, you have it already, just skip back

And if you are not you should. When my imac got stolen, I had an offsite backup which brought it all back, never been happier

[tombaker]

Of course, thanks.

On OsX 10.8 I had to change System Prefs > Security & Privacy > Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere

Don't know if that would do anything on 10.6 or 7 ....

Is there a version of this software that will work with iPod? Please

[Kipper4]

I tried to download it from the diy lc link and the zip file wont open. (not a valid archive is the message) where am i going wrong please?

[doctortropico]

I tried to download it from the diy lc link and the zip file wont open.

Have you downloaded this zip on your iPod? You will need something like this to open zip on iOs.
Also: DIYLC runs on Java. iOs and Java = not a good match.

Nope not osx .
I'm downloading it via windows desktop.
My ipad wouldnt even download it. I'm getting that its not truly x platform so it wont work with osx .
thats why i tried with windows.
thanks for the help

Progress report .I have the alpha version 3.0.4 working.
problems might have been due to an aged java app. Now updated
I still cant get the newer version to work grrrr

[bancika]

why the 3.0.4  it's very old and unstable...the current version is 3.28.0

[Kipper4]

The currant version wont open for me in win zip
it will download but then i get a "not a valid archive message, If you downloaded it try redownloading"

[bancika]

Just tried it and it worked, weird.

[adstrum]

Maybe Winzip is the problem. Try installing 7-zip and if see that works any better.

[Kipper4]

Is it available on cd rom or any other format not zipped? Please

WOW....
Thanks for the "Select all within a layer" feature!!

Haven't tried it yet (After dinner I will).

Thanks a ton.


Edit:

Ok, I must be missing something here, but how do I "Select all within a layer"?

Thanks

[Perrow]

In the layers menu.

[CodeMonk]

Then I must be misinterpreting something.
For instance, I have traces in layers 1 and 2.
I thought it would let me select say, all the traces in Layer 1, while leaving the traces in Layer 2 alone (not selected).
It just has "Lock" and "Select All".

I like to draw schematics with this app. But to draw a pot I mess around with the line tool to make an arrow pointing to a regular resistor. Is there an easier/better way to do this?

Cheers.

I have the new version working now. Thanks to a helpfull soul.
It's fantastic and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in
Thanks guys
