I mean no disrespect to anyone period but I am just too old to start acquiring tools and equipment to start working with surface mount devices. I am a 67 year old retired millwright/handyman that played music all his life and has built a few tube amps and guitar pedals the old thru hole hard way.
DIPTRACE SCHEMATIC TUTORIAL SOFTWARE
I am by no means a software engineer, I have no clue how this stuuf works. I am sending the version info so that we are all fixing the same issue, I think. Question 4, Yes sir, there is a severe problem with my footprint library, It does not include a CD4007UBE. Question 3, Yes sir I am definately stuck as I am not sure what you even mean by “Create” a cd4007ube. So no sir I do not believe I have placed anything anywhere that was not already there.
DIPTRACE SCHEMATIC TUTORIAL UPDATE
As to question 2, I get they feeling that if I can get any component into any library my problem will be solved until the next update changes everything again. So I don’t believe I got it done, but I did try. I do know that I attempted to produce a library as that was one of the suggested ways to finally get the device into a library, but then I reached the click preferences and choose components library issue. I have tried for hours to do several things suggested by various videos that have led to total confusion as not one has worked as shown. I have no idea at this point what I have done. pretty file? As to your first question sir I have to be honest. Its supposed to be a step file but it is a. for some reason the engineers thought it would be cool to change all of that and rename all the extensions so kicad has no clue what you are trying to do.
DIPTRACE SCHEMATIC TUTORIAL DOWNLOAD
They even allow us to download them in a supposed KiCad format. Digi key has the footprint and the 3d model.

The only library I have is the one that came with the program download. I hope someone out there can find an answer for me, this is way depressing and I am losing faith. So far the only thing it has NOT been is easy. Why does every EDA have to be complicated enough to build super computers when some of us just want to build guitar pedals or simple power supplies? If I had not wasted my life on this software my board would be finished. This is the stuff that makes people give up on the EDA idea all together.
DIPTRACE SCHEMATIC TUTORIAL INSTALL
Is there one that actually works start to finish or do they each only work to a point where thats all you get?Įagle has become so complicated you need a physics degree just to install and execute it. What part is supposed to be better? Is there a way to fix this or do I just give up on EDA’s all together. If I get the drawing done it will more than likely take a month to do the next step which I think is annotate the schematic, then process the pcb. But at this moment I do not think that is possible since I can not find any two people that can describe the proceedure it takes to add a component to the library and have it work. Then I should have no more problems with this as there will be no library but the one. I have a specific set of components I use and I want to build my own library stuffed with just these parts. Not as pretty and neat for sure but done just the same. If I had done this the HARD way and just traced the copperclad with a marker pen and washed the board in chemicals It would be in a box by now, finished. Icould not get any help and it looked like years since anyone answered anything on a forum so I gave up on it and I am trying Kicad now.Ĭounting watched videos I have over 24 hours in this drawing and I am no closer to finishing this board than when I started a week ago. I spent 14 hours drawing my schematic in DipTrace and could not get any further as I could not get the schem to form a pcb. This is my third EDA this week I immediatly gave up on Eagle, I could not even get it going.

I think I have a version 3 video a version four file and a version 5 program. The files are not even named the same as the videos show. I have Configure Paths followed by Manage Symbol Libraries. In version 5 there is no preferences > Components Libraries on the drop down box. No matter how many videos I watch not one can get me past this point. From this point everything goes horribly wrong. I found the footprint and the 3d model and downloaded the ones for kicad. Why it is not allready in a library is beyond me. So far I have the drawing loaded with all of the parts but one. I have been three days now fighting to complete a 100 pin schematic.
