Re: What is the via barrel plating thickness when exporting a STEP?
I am adding this functionality. RenderEffects.png But what I found is that there is another variable defining the actual enlargement: const double PlattingThickness = 0.02; Setting it at 20um! The former variable found was a contact tolerance for electrical connection testing. If a PCB manufacturer ...

Re: What is the via barrel plating thickness when exporting a STEP?
The barrel radius enlargement is 7.8um (constant BRenlarge = 1/128mm - a beautiful number with many zeros in the binary float representation). I didn't bring this value up to the UI for the sake of keeping the UI simple. It would belong to View/Render Effect Parameters Dialog, as those values are ho...

Re: STEP Export with Solder Mask in Mechanical Mode
Please try to use the "Thermal Server" mode. Use the main window right panel to enable the layers you need. The downside will be that the internal "prepreg/core" for each pair of copper layers is included separately, even if the internal layers are switched off. This will be much...

Component copy-paste - starting Component Library. Paste onto another component, overwriting all component model and body builder data. Paste in a free space - creates a new component instance, including a new footprint. This is a very experimental feature. Works on the component-list - preparing t...

3.2.5 (10-12-2023)
ODB++ disappearing holes ODB++ allows for mixing together plated and unplated holes in a single 'sub-file'. ZofzPCB splits such 'file' into two to match internal structures. There was a bug that could remove one of the groups of drills in such a case. Holes List Dialog Improvements The dialog will ...

Invalid Instruction Exception
since 3.2.2 (04-11-2023) There is an invalid instruction exception, as seen in a couple of bug reports. That was difficult to track, as it was in the newly added library, and my efforts to fix it were in vain until I had recompiled it. (ziplib.lib - that is another project :? ) I have updated the re...

Re: Installation and usage under Wine?
The program checks the multi-language UI DLLs for corruption. And that is not working. Maybe some system DLL is not there, something related to calculating file hash or signature. (Probably, I have been overdoing this a bit.) My Ubuntu is too old to be used for testing, but I will be doing another p...

Re: How to define drill plates for internal layers...drill from top to xxx
The automatic drill files discovery via the "Execute Autoload" and "CAM_Load_Rules.txt" rules file can be improved by the user. The installation of the new version does not overwrite this file unless you press the "Reset Rules" button. See the version 3.2.3 notes. You c...

3.2.3 (08-11-2023) Hotfix for CAM_Load_Rules.txt
I have corrupted the CAM_Load_Rules.txt file. This might have gone unnoticed, as the file is not updated by the installer to the working location. The file update is triggered manually by pressing the [Reset Rules] button on the Gerber Load Dialog. It is due to the possibility that the user might ha...
