Ultiboard: track shoving

Status: New Submitted by Member on 10-27-2016 05:19 AM Comment

Hi,

 

This is my third post about Ultiboard and I have an advise if Ultiboard Team listens.

 

Ultiboard should have Track and Via Shoving function to have more proffessional CAD design tool. This is really annoying without this function especially when we draw small pcbs of BGA design.

 

Thanks,

ERC

Multisim Live: Move Probes with Wires

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 08-31-2016 10:24 AM Comment

After placing some probes on my circuit, if I move any of the components, the attached wires will move accordingly, but the probes will not. Therefore they are no longer connected to the wires and need to be reconnected manually. I would like for probes to be attached to the wires and move along wtith them when moving components.

Ultiboard: Stop automatic glueing of parts to gudelines

Status: New Submitted by Member on 07-04-2016 07:50 AM Comment

Currently (Ultiboard 14.0) parts automatically glue to guidelines if one 'catches' a part center when placing a guideline. Then. when a part is glued, it moves along with the guldeline.

 

 When one works on a precise part of layout and aligns components using guidelines, guidelines can catch parts in other part of the PCB and destroy layout there. Please disable this feature or at least make it optional.

Ultiboard: Polygon creation improvement

Status: New Submitted by Member on 06-06-2016 02:37 AM 2 Comment

It would be good to allow undoing polygons vertex by vertex. Now when one makes a mistake when laying up a polygon, he/she has to cancel the drawing and start over. It would be a big improvement if there was an option to remove the last created polygon vertex.

Ultiboard: Fix part selection

Status: New Submitted by Member on 05-09-2016 03:05 AM Comment

Make part selection select parts only on active layer. It is very frustrating when Ultiboard selects and drags e.g. a connector on Top layer along with (intended to be deragged) a resistor on Bottom. Ultiboard also selects locked parts on inactive layers, in situations like in the attached screenshot. I can select the locked part (which is SMT part placed on Top) when dragging parts on Bottom - this is VERY frustrating...

Fix the group text attributes defect in UB

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 04-01-2016 02:03 PM Comment

In UB when a selection of multiple text objects are grouped most of them just dissapear.  They do not re-appear when the group is ungrouped.

 

This is a pain when mutiple structures with text objects exist and need to be replicated in a design.

 

I reported this as a bug a couple revs back when I was a beta tester and was told it was fixed for the next rev, but it was not.  I updated the defect report with that info, but noone seems to have noticed.

Fix UB export layer stack report

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 04-01-2016 01:44 PM Comment

The report does not generate correctly if you don't have all the layers hard selected first in the design toolbox.

 

I believe this should be considered an error.  The layers exist and should be properly reported, whether they are enabled in the Design Toolbox for viewing or not.
