What's new in v6.2.34

2019.08.06

New Features

• 'Smart Dimension' in PCBLibs, via " Tools - Smart Dimension"
• New features of copper area
  • Setting a distance from copper area to the board outline.
  • Setting to clear the sharp corner of the copper area, at "Improve Fabrication".
  • Setting the line width and spacing for the grid copper.
• New simulation
  • Click to the logo in upper left corner to switch to simulation mode.
  • Only support the spice symbols which are the EElib at simulation mode.
  • Multiple instruments simulation are supported.
  • A lot of simulation models which are based on LTspice.
  • The simulation libs have 3D styles.
• PDF exportings can be generated by editor.
  • The outline of the objects can be exported in PCB
  • Large documents being exported to PDF would not fail.
  • Multiple layers merged could be exported.
• New 3D view
  • Simple 3D models can be imported and review(It is recommended to choose 'Google' as your browser and turn on the hardware acceleration).
  • How to import: "Top menu - New - PCB 3D libs"
  • The documents of 3D models only support OBJ and WRL yet.
    • OBJ: Make both the OBJ and the MTL are in a shared zip package, and then import the package to EasyEDA.Download OBJ here(The MTL would be downloaded at the same time):
    • WRL: It should be imported directly.
    • https://library.io/explore/3dmodels
    • https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-packages3D
    • http://www.traceparts.com/
    • https://grabcad.com/
    • http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/
    • https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-library/tree/master/Electrical%20Parts/
  • PCB 3D preview is generated in editor, and the large documents review won't fail again.
  • There is a 3D models manager used to adjust the 3D models being pointed. The same packages will point to one 3D model. via: "Topbar menu - Tool - 3D Model Manager
  • A new layer named '3D models layer' was added to PCB layers.
• Users can classfy projects in terms of who the projects belong to.
• The project lists could switch "Work Space" (You must joined the educating team).
• The interface of the Personal libs and Team libs are integrated in 'working Space'.
• All the elements belong to a same net will display highlightly when mouse cursor moving on the tracks.
• Objects support to offset by relative reference point.
• Modify the trick click interaction: First click to select the entire track, click again to select a single segment of the track.
• Support the track right-click menu to select the tracks of the entire network, choose an area to select part of a track.
• Sheet table of schemetics and PCBs support to customize.
• Stamp hole panelize is supported.
• Support change layers automatically when you try to route other layer track.
• Walk Around for the track in Alpha version.
• Cartesian coordinate system existed in canvas.
• Switching to elements in the same locaton and they keep out each other by using shotkey 'G'.
• Right-click menu of compontents shows the "View Datasheet".
• You can pull out the extension line in Size Tool.
• Copper Menu was added to canvas right-click menu.
• When moving footprint, it will adsorbed automatically once the cursor close to the center of the pads or the original point of the footprint.
• Tracks and arcs could modify their properties batched at the same time.
• There is a choose in System Settings to demand whether finish tracking automatically or not.
• The NetFlags support to hide their names.
• Personal preferences would be loaded to the server.
• Once you click the button'Convert to PCB', it wil check out are there errors to your schemetic nets.
• Non-signal layers trakcs also support Real-time Track Length .
• Components being selected in schemetic corresponding to highlight components at PCB.
• Design Manager and Footpirnt Manager support secondary catalog display of the subpart.
• You can review PCB photoes in white.
• It could add teardrops automatically when routing tracks, which launched in system settings.
• You can set Solder Mask Expansion and Paste Mask Expansion as a negative value.
• No-official libs could also report errors.
• Elements selected in canvas can be cancelled by 'Esc'.
• The position of the Footprints' name of the PCB can be changed same as Prefix Position.
• Rect in PCB can be converted to slots by right-click, and you can set nets to them.
• You can adjust tracks width when you importing a DXF into PCB.
• You can put No Connect Flag to Wire now.
• You can choose whether mirror the bottom layer component coordinates or not when exporting coordinate file. The JLCPCB.com doesn't need it. one part of the PCB manufactures need this option.
• Support to cute silksreen automatically in PCBLib, there ia a switch to demand launch or terminate it in the right-hand properties panel.
• Projects support to be cloned.

Improvements

• Solve the problem that the bottom pads will cover over the top tracks.
• Solve the problem that rounded corners will appear when copper areas overlap with the same network.
• Improve theme setting of schematic diagram to avoid ambiguity.
• Reset the canvas coordinates as the copper and solid fills' edit coordinates.
• Components with subpart no longer support placing father-part. Only separate subparts are allowed.
• Improve tracks drag to reduce acute angles.
• Press 'D' to drag footprint's text without moving footprint.
• Modify subpart properties support synchronous modification of other subpart properties.
• Components' prefix and name text do not allow line breaks.
• Double-click the normal text, Enter directly confirm input, Ctrl+Enter change to new line.
• Fixed problems where clicking exit did not succeed
• Remove component's prefix and name when ungroup it, to avoid recombination of anomalies.
• Change parts searching keywords to at least two.
• Limit the remove loop to only support the signal layer.
• Remove must save the file before exporting the Altium format logic.
• Fix other bugs.
