In V13 if you have a design with multiple copper pour areas, if you click the unpour icon and upour all areas, the repour icon remains greyed out and you cannot re-pour all areas.
All you can do is select each area and pour individually.
This is a real bind when working on pcbs with multiple pour areas so can we have a quick fix please ??
Also, now if you import a .bmp or .jpeg into a pcb design, if you right click on it the application quits.
Also do not seem to have "Online Manuals" in my Help menu !
Also it seems that component - component check ignore which side of the board the components are on, so generates errors when one component on one side is in the same/near position as one on the other !
The "Sign-Off" check feature is very handy, unfortunately it does not include an "Integrity Check" ..... This is also a very important pre-plot check.... can this be added ??

Thank you for these reports. They'll be checked and logged.
You can probably sort out the missing menu entry by going to [Settings], [Customise], clicking on the 'Menu' tab, and clicking on [Reset]. You may have to do this for each design type. It sounds like a problem that's cropped up before where menus get 'stuck'. |

There is now a patch available for the copper pour and bitmap crash problems. Please contact support if you require a copy.
V13.0.1 will not be released just yet in case other urgent problems surface. |

The component-component check has been looked at. It IS ignoring components on the other side where both are surface mount. It's dangerous to ignore through hole components on the other side. Consider overlapping radial capacitors, or some types of connector that can't be top soldered, and you'll see what I mean.
The fault entry has been amended to a request for a control to allow this check to be disabled for components on the opposite side. |
