All of the issues that were reported should be fixed in a new V2015.08 pre-release uploaded today. ]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2015 08:41:50 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/ipc7351c-pin-1-polarity-marking_topic1530_post6278.html#6278 <![CDATA[IPC-7351C Pin 1 Polarity Marking : The 08 version seems now to let...]]> https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/ipc7351c-pin-1-polarity-marking_topic1530_post6275.html#6275 Author: SteveD

The 08 version seems now to let me save the silkscreen drafting preferences.  However, it does not display them consistently.  Sometimes they are blanked out even when the preferences file is saved, loaded, and editor is restarted.

FYI: Another bug that Jeff took note of for me is that when you are in the editor, you have the ability to set several drafting items and see them as they would appear when you click OK.  However, when you build the part(s), the user preferences for drafting override anything that had been entered, and you lose that work.  Apparently this is because you are not allowed to edit items under the drafting tab - even though they are not grayed out..... a royal garden path.

What we need is a way to override the defaults part-by-part and build them the way they look while editing them.  There are exceptions to every rule.

Great! I'm glad Jeff acknowledged the bug and he will fix it for the V2015.08 release.

Thanks for pointing this issue out. We prefer bug free software.

You can turn off any outline in User Preferences by changing the value to 0 (zero).

In the V2015.08 pre-release there is also a provision for separation of Silkscreen and Pin 1 Dot.

i.e.: You can now turn of the Silkscreen Outline and keep the the Dot (they are now independent of each other).

There is an unanswered question above for you Tom - 5th post in this thread.

Also, now when I create a new user preferences file with the preference of a 0.0 pin 1, then close PCBLE, then open PCBLE, and look at the preferences, its back to 0.40.  It will not go away, although it remembers my user suffix choice.  There seems to be no way to create a UserPreferences.dat with no pin 1 on the silkscreen.  Can you hear me screaming?

Our assemblers are students and usually jump right in without an assembly drawing soldering by hand.  They know what is what.  But they may have forgot which way is which.  The dot will help, and the new IPC way is harder to see.]]> Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:18:38 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/ipc7351c-pin-1-polarity-marking_topic1530_post6266.html#6266
