In Version 13.0.2 ist ein "Rename" von Projectfiles nicht möglich! Mit Rechts-Click kommen die entsprechenden Fenster, aber nur "Open" funktioniert. "Remove ...", "Rename" und "Duplicate" zeigen keine Reaktion. Mit folgendem Hotfix ist alles OK: https://pcb.designspark.info/DS_data_files/DesignSpark/hotfix_DS_13.0.2.exe

The Split body command wasn't working on this complex body - Why?   Body fails to be split: Note the existing objects in the Structure browser:   Check Geometry ! Refer to the following 2 gif below:   In fixing the geometry by deletion of a face and the Filling of small edges of approximate length 0.007mm, new surfaces and solids have appeared in the Structure browser !?   The problem if not using Components: A problem with using bodies that aren't owned by components, is that the design file is not divided with 'ownerships' or a heirachy of objects the so called, Parent Child relationships. All created objects are therefore placed or owned directly under the Root Document . Newly created objects, Surfaces or Solid bodies are added to the list bottom and may not be seen by the user if the Structure Browser is very long.           The Solid can now be split TIP > Cut the body into a new file or Move the body into a New Component. Reduce the Structure browser reporting to show just the problem body - Cut the body into a new file or Move the body into a New Component. Any additional faces or hiding Internal bodies created from Internal faces forming a boundary body will immediately be shown and noticed ! The additional surfaces or bodies created from repairs are now owned by the new file or new component. Method 1> Cut to new file - shown below: Note the body is pasted into the exact same position and orientation. It can be repaired, then cut and pasted back into the original file also in the exact same position! New objects being owned in the new file Method 2> Move Body to a New Component > Open Component: (Shown below) New objects being owned by the component   The additional newly created Objects can now be easily observed. The Body can now be split. The recommendation is for both bodies to remain in the component 'Solid'

Hey, does any of the file systems DSM uses to save objects allow you to generate planes or entire geometries that can then be recognized by 3D printer software as an object in a specific color? I’m not talking about the entire object, just a part of it.

I'm having an issue when importing DXF files into DesignSpark Mechanical. My DesignSpark Mechanical settings are set to metric , but whenever I import a DXF file, it seems to default to imperial units. Because of this, the imported drawing scale/dimensions are incorrect. Is there a specific import setting or step I need to change so DXF files open in metric correctly? Thanks.

Hello, I have an assignment. I need to write a 2000-word blog on some common connectors that are used in embedded system-related projects. I have started my write up. So far I have included these connectors- JST connectors  :JST conenctors are commonly found in battery packs, small sensor modules, and embedded systems where space is limited. One advantage is their secure locking mechanism, which helps prevent accidental disconnection due to vibration. Dupont connectors : Dupont connectors are the standard jumper-wire connectors used in prototyping, especially with breadboards and development boards like Arduino or ESP32. USB connectors: USB connectors are extremely common due to standardization and availability. USB-C, in particular, supports higher power levels and faster data rates, making it suitable for modern embedded systems. The main limitation is that USB connectors are more complex to implement correctly on custom PCBs, especially for high-speed or USB-PD designs, which require careful layout and impedance control. Can you tell me what other conenctors I can mention in my blogs? I'd like to get more suggestions. I will include more names and descriptions.   

Hello, When I want to work with the DSM it asked me to login to the portal.But the login does not work:   How to resolve the problem (probably after an maiboard of my Notebook has been replaced)?  

Good afternoon, We use DesignSpark Mechanical together with both purchased add-ons on our HP notebook. Unfortunately, the motherboard in this notebook has failed again, and HP has provided us with another notebook, to which we transferred all the original disk contents. However, we now need to activate DSM with the add-ons again. I would like to ask you to activate DSM for us, or advise us how to activate it using our purchased licence. For now, we would like to continue using the original version of the program with the original add-ons. Thank you for your prompt assistance. S pozdravem / Best regards,Jan Kirchner

We’re pleased to share the winner of the Prove It: Arduino UNO Q Community Challenge. Congratulations to Biaou David Barthélémy Kochoni for their project, Smart Water Guardian AI. This idea really stood out. It focuses on real-time water monitoring using edge AI to detect potential contamination before it becomes unsafe. It’s a thoughtful piece of work that connects a genuine real-world problem with a strong technical approach. The judging panel highlighted both the relevance of the idea and the clarity of the supporting work, which helped bring the concept to life. If you’d like to take a closer look at the project and see why it was selected as the winner, you can read the full article here: https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/announcing-the-winner-of-prove-it-arduino-uno-q-community-challenge  A big thank you to everyone who took part and congratulations once again to Biaou David Barthélémy Kochoni. The overall standard of the entries was high, and it made the judging process a genuine challenge.Feel free to share your thoughts on the winning idea in the comments.- Connor

G'day folks,I've been having an issue with DS Mech for some time. It was crashing the PC until I followed every tip and fix I could find, crashing is not an issue now, however pulling holes takes several minutes and DS Mech is unresponsive during this time. I've got every setting dumbed down so it should be sharp and responsive... my PC has rather good specs including a 3060 nVidia card... but it's become barely useable. Does anyone have a fix that might help me please?I've used DS Mech on and off for years, even while I had access to SolidWorks at work. It is great for 3D printing parts etc, as I use it for, and I'm not wanting to climb another learning curve for my occassional use. Please help!Cheers,Louis.Edit: Steam overlay was contributing to the crashing, it's now off. Moving works flawlessly, but pulling a hole through a face or resizing a hole, using pull, means it's time to make a cup of tea... and wait. Gfx drivers are up to date. Settings files had their directory deleted. Fresh instalation has been tried, etc etc. I'm out of ideas as to why it cannot pull without having a caniption over the ordeal.

Hi. I have problem with 13.0.2 to generate gerber files of a pcb with 4 layers.I see correctly the layers in the editor, and the setting parameters seem correct. But when I see the generated gerber files with a Gerber file viewer (like jlcpcb) the inner layers are showed like Vcut layer. How can I solve this issue? Thanls in advance. 

Have the winners of the Competition Declared yet?Where can I see the winners announced?

I want to move component without the click point being forced to move origin.   1. I press (= click & hold) left mouse button to drag component.   2. If move mouse to drag component,  to press point was forced to move to origin of component.   3.  This setting "place item center" exhibited similar behavior.this case, to press point was forced to move to center of component. Thanks.

I have started a project in DS 13 using a PSoC chip. I loaded the IC information to the user library along with a couple of memeory chips and I added the PSoC to the schematic. But I cannot place the memory chips onto the schematic and if I try to add the PSoC again to the schematic (as a test) I get "cannot find component in any library" which is the same error I get when trying to add the memory to the schematic.  I have ticked 'Enable all folders' in the manager.
