This tutorial requires:
DesignSpark PCB V12With a Creator or Engineer subscription, the Measure Tool can now display measurements in two units which is desirable when using mixed units from datasheets and enclosure dimensions.
As part of this enhancement, the angular precision has been increased to 3 digits throughout DesignSpark PCB.
Measure tool illustrating dual units:
This option plus customizing the display units described later is enabled by clicking the button next to Units in the dialog.
Angular precision
Angular precision is set for the design in the Units dialog. It is now as mentioned increased to 3 digits.
Component Properties will show the angle with this precision from where it can also be edited.
Back to the measure tool this also displays with the design units precision:
Further Units options
If you click the button next to Units further options are available:
From here you can select to display the dual units, and also customize the displayed units independently of the design units.
This video illustrates the new features and provides an overview of units and precision within DesignSpark PCB.
