Given the four small holes on the part above, here are examples of what would and would not result in a linked pattern. Oh, by the way, here is a 3D model of my current project (a turntable motor speed controller) done in DipTrace with some components from the library and some of my own making in sketchup and converted. Ive solid 12 years of experience in the field of Automobile industry in R&D. EDA/CAD package with autorouter, Schematic Capture multi-level hierarchy, real-time DRC, 3D Preview/export, Gerber output and comprhensive component and pattern libraries. Slot Pattern1 is a linked pattern and Slot Pattern2 is not.

Linked patterns are identified in the DimXpertManager by the link icon.
#DIPTRACE TO SOLID WORKS UPDATE#
Simple hole, counterbore, slot, and notch pattern featuresĪ DimXpert pattern that is based on and maintains an association with a SW modeling feature or features.ĭimXpert pattern features linked to modeling features update automatically if you change the modeling features. For example, applying a diameter dimension and geometric position tolerance to a pattern of holes. DipTrace is an advanced PCB design software application that consists of 4 modules: PCB Layout with shape-based autorouter, high-speed/differential signal routing tools, and 3D PCB Preview/Export, Schematic Capture, and Component/Pattern Editors that allow you to design custom component/footprint libraries. They are generally associated with common dimensions and tolerances. A group of DimXpert features having the same type (hole, slot, notch, etc.) and size parameters.
