DipTrace 5.3.5 is now available. This update focuses on performance and refinement: making the tools you use every day faster, more responsive and more reliable.
Performance. 2D and 3D rendering have been optimized for DirectX 11 and OpenGL 3.3, delivering faster redraws and improved visual quality. Real-time DRC and PCB Layout are now noticeably more responsive on large, complex designs.
Refinements. The HTML Interactive BOM can now include the schematic, with live cross-probing between schematic and board, and works on mobile devices. Database search now recognizes synonyms and spelling variations, making components easier to find. The DipTrace XML format and AI Plugin SDK have also been refined.
Import. This release adds direct import of native Altium binary files (.SchDoc, .PcbDoc, .PcbLib), so Altium projects open in DipTrace without an ASCII export step. CADint import for schematics, PCB layouts and libraries has also been added, and import from KiCad and EasyEDA has been improved.
New plugin. The Component Text Autoplacer moves component labels off pads, mask openings, component bodies and (optionally) vias, while keeping each label visually associated with its component. It saves hours of manual cleanup before manufacturing.
