V2.0.x Update Notes

Schematic

• Optimise the performance of schematic canvas operations, including zoom, mass selection, panning, copy and paste, cut, etc.
• After placing a reused block, it is automatically assigned a name and displayed automatically.
• Add component type checking item in design rules to match supplier number with component properties.

• Bit number assignment supports bit number assignment in Chinese and other cases.
• Optimise the performance of package manager for multi-selection and scrolling list under a large number of components.
• Design rules add rules: network identification, network port needs to have name

• Design rule added: when wires and buses are not connected to a network identifier or network port, the name needs to be displayed on the canvas

PCB

• PCB support for placing menu new elements FPC reinforcement board elements

Note: PFC Reinforcement Plate Elements are only supported for Garrison ordering (not yet supported by the ordering system, under development)

-- Add PCB type option to layer manager, support switching to FPC flexible board type

• Blocking dialogue box adapted to small resolution scenes
• Optimise start wiring logic, remove the logic that triggers wiring to automatically start from the pads.
• Optimise the function of removing loops
• Show package size contour line when package is selected.

• Top level and bottom level test point property panels add flux extended properties, design rules for soldermask fluxing add test point rules

• Add inactive layer colour transparency setting

• Differential pair routing optimisation ensures that the endpoints of the two segments are always synchronised
• Left panel supports device standardisation entry

• Export coordinates popup window supports custom property columns, new support for exporting collage mark coordinates

• Importing changes supports simultaneous updating of existing copper-laying networks.
• Chamfering is also supported for lines with connected but not continuous endpoints.
• Add a tab key to toggle text prompt for scenes with multiple dynamic input boxes.

• Alignment function and attribute position function to align the text with the actual outline of the text

• When the board is flipped, use the pre-flip magnification and don't move the canvas position
• Add logic to inherit network when placing/pasting pads with networked elements.
• Add optimisation for multi-selecting multi-segment wires and dragging the wire header.
• Add a hot-solder property to pads to support setting whether the copper spreading is direct or diffuse.

Add a hot-solder property to the solder pads.

• Design rules dialogue box supports switching between multiple process configurations in Garrigon

• Edit menu adds the ability to select connected copper skins

• Wires and flying wires of the same network during wiring remain highlighted, other tuples are dimmed

• The arc type property of the guide supports saving, before the arc type will restore the default every time the PCB is opened

• Portfolio optimisation, no longer allow drag control points or stretching of elements within the portfolio
• PCB export BOM dialog, add a ‘layer’ to the property statistics in the middle.

-- PCB export Step file support progress bar (export 3D shell does not support), filter out overholes to accelerate step export speed

Panel

• Panel production files, open hole location corresponding to the print layer and mask layer does not do hollowing out
• Filtering configuration default unchecked lock
• Panel in the placement menu to add smart size function
• Panel in the placement menu to add the auxiliary line function
• Panel has a new function of auxiliary line in the placement menu.

• Placing an image supports restoring the original scale in the properties panel

• Support for bulge layers

• Support for panel library creation and placement. Automatically breaks up into multiple common tuples after placement

• Support drag the bbox border to resize

Other

• Adjust the left panel collection, engineering related to be merged into ‘Engineering’ tab, library related to be merged into ‘Library Design’ tab.

• The start page supports always displaying

• Reuse block schematic or project add save as reuse block function in top menu

• Add editor version number and client mode in top right corner

• Fix some issues with format conversion
