Let's say I had DipTrace installed on my SSD drive with only 5 GB of free space. Don't see why the 1.5 GB has to be unpacked to 8-10 GB in a temporary folder, only to have it copy files to destination folder later. installer crashed without error messages (gets stuck and clicking next doesn't do anything) I had only 5 GB free space on the boot drive, and the installer defaults to boot drive to unpack itself. I have a 120 GB SSD as boot drive that was kinda full. really need to work a bit on your installer for the models.

zip or 7zip archives can be easily parsed to retrieve the file listing ( and extracting files from 7zip is as fast as zip as long as solid mode compression is unchecked), and the 3d viewer could easily extract (and cache in ram if needed) only the models used by the active project. just by enabling NTFS compression on the folder the size shrinks to half, so the content is very compressible. Is there any particular reason why the 3d models can't be 'installed' as zip/7zip/whatever packs, maybe grouped by manufacturer or category instead of having hundreds of files that are basically very verbose, text files? Reason is altogether the use a bit of disk space, they unpack in around 8-10 GB. I went with KiCad because of limitations in Eagle and DT, that KiCAD had at the time, yes they have since been implemented but that was my reason at the time to drop them, and when you spend a decent amount of time learning a new tool you kind of stick to it, I have EAGLE 7 installed for legacy, removed DT a long time ago, nobody in the hobbyist community I have seen uses it for OSHW projects, so I had no need for it. Say what you want about DT/EAGLE/KICAD the truth is they can all perform mostly the same functions as each other, it's just what you find easier to use and what you are willing to pay or not pay for. And just hope that it gets added in the future. Yes it is frustrating when simple things are missing like as the mentioned dashed/dotted line feature, but you have 2 choices, live with that limitation or use a different tool. I would always recommend trying EAGLE, DipTrace and KiCAD to anyone though as despite what YOU think, others might get on better with a n other package. PCB tools mostly are preferential, be it picked up as a hobbyist or introduced it via work, I wouldn't go back to DT just because I am used to other tools (Altium and KiCAD), if I were to go back to Eagle it'd have to be V7 before Autodesk messed it up, as the 'new features' are really not worth (for me) the pure amount of crap they have injected into it since. Ive been using eagle for a little while and although im able to make layouts etc pretty well i recently found that i was running into problems due to board size (pin count was fine but i just wanted to spread things over a larger area for enclosures and so forth).You pay your money, you take your choice.

anyway after doing my head in trying to work out eagles ridiculous upgrade paths not to mention the cost i decided to give diptrace a go.

Ive only been fiddling around with diptrace the last day or so and it seems to be pretty good however theres one thing that is annoying me.

in eagle's schematic layout when i add a DIP package for say TL072 it actually placed a dip package with all the pins, i prefer it this way.

however in Diptrace it places 2 different sections to the IC as well as a separate power and ground section. Is there a way to globally change this to just show the IC as 1 part on my layout? i hope im making sense if not i can probably upload some photos when i get back in the lab to further explain ie it shows 1 Dip package as three separate 'parts' or what not in the schematic editor. While there might not be a single right answer for every occasion, some kind of structured approach will beat a mass of undifferentiated pins every time. You could separate the component into e.g. power inputs as one part and each I/O bank into separate parts. Or some other scheme based on what you want to highlight in the schematic.

I tend to have multiple symbols for parts like these, and pick the one that seems most appropriate for the case. Another pet frustration of mine is the habit of some people in drawing logic components. Elementary gates are shovelheads and all else is blank boxes with nothing whatsoever to indicate the inner workings of the chip. Its almost like nobody ever heard of IEC and the symbol presentation standard.
