DipTrace Issues

We purchased Diptrace Lite Edition:

Installed is 2.0.07 Built may 7 2009

V2.1 Notes on making Fiducials:

  1. Add Pad for fiducial
  2. add filled circle.  Change layer of filled circle to top mask.
  3. BUT HOW DO I EXCLUDE THE PAD FROM THE SOLDER PASTE STENCIL EXPORT

 


 

Issue 1:

Impact: MAJOR

Sometimes when I have 3 wires connected at a single point, deleting one leaves the other 2 visually joined but not actually joined in the schematic.

 

 


 

Note 1:

Connection Manager:

If a add a net and connect to only 1 pin of 1 device it disappears. 

It seems I have to connect to 2 components to have a valid net.  Probably intentional I suppose so I will change the way I work.
