The arrow keys it work for all of the objects in DipTrace (as it should, and as normal) except the traces (in latest version). This step by step movement, using keyboard (arrow keys) is a basic function in any CAD software, and for sure you all there know about such basics. The problem here is that any and every alternative to such operation is only much more complicated, and more time consuming than the simple pressing of a few keys on keyboard, for the steps one may need in moving/positioning process. There are some alternatives to move traces around. Then I got few suggestion for alternative methods to move and position traces in 3.0 version. It is very difficult to return it therefore we haven't done it.' We fixed the bug and moving traces by arrow key is not working anymore. 'Moving traces using arrow keys was accidental side effect of a bug in the software. As the traces are connected to anything else, then are not possible to be moved by keys, but only with the mouse pointer.Īs such basic functionality it is very important, I expect to be prioritised in the bug elimination process, and finally reestablished.ĭipTrace support team answer to my above bug report: I noticed this time that the traces are movable using the arrows keys only if are alone and not connected to any other objects (pads, vias, etc). This it was the normal (and very useful) functionality for the all old versions. As I can see, it still not be addressed the quite important issue/bug which is particular only to the last version, as I reported previously: the traces are not longer movable by arrows keys (in small/precise steps).

I installed the new build update for 3.0 DipTrace version.
