With the PCB Layout module you are able to design entire boards.
The ‘Schematic’ module enables you to create a visual and logical structure with all the components connected using wires, busses, ports or by name. Creating a schematic is an easy task as you only need to select the components from its vast library and drag them in the workspace. With these you can design complex, detailed schematics and even render an explorable 3D model of the board or a component.Īs a CAD application, DipTrace Freedisplays a technical interface that best suites engineers but it’s built in a way that allows even novice users to fully understand how it functions. The application is composed out of four modules that offer you schematic capture, PCB layout, component and pattern editors.
If you wish to copy this component to an existing library, you can save it to a temporary *.eli file and then from another library select “Insert from Another Library…” found in the Component menu.ĩ – If a 3D model was included at the point of download it will be ready to use in your design.DipTrace Free is a powerful application that you can use to design Printed circuit boards (PCB). Ĥ – You will get confirmation of the downloaded part in Library Loaderĥ – Open the DipTrace Component Editor and select Import->DipTrace ASCII (*.asc)… from the Library menuĦ – Select the *.asc file from the “Downloads Folder” which Library Loader has extracted from the downloaded zip file.ħ – Accept the default Library Details and click OKĨ – The Component including the Pattern (Footprint) is imported. Either way, please make sure that you select a folder that it also present under 3D Model Folders in DipTrace.ġ – Search for a part on our or a partners website e.g. Note that DipTrace has default folder(s) setup that can be reviewed by selecting “3D Preview->Patterns and Models Search.” from the Tools menu in the PCB Layout.
If you want to review these at any point, you can click the Help link in the same dialog.ġ – Change “Your ECAD Tool” in Library Loader to “DipTrace” and then click Settings.Ģ – Click the browse button to select the folder in which the 3D model files will be copied and then click OK. To prevent these instructions from showing every time you download a part, please uncheck “Show Library Import Instructions” from the DipTrace settings in Library Loader. Please note you MUST have Library Loader V2.41 or later to work with the DipTrace ASCII *.asc files which also include 3D Models. Setting up Library Loader for use with DipTrace
