Learn DesignSpark PCB

I have just installed DesignSpark with the aim of designing and creating some pcb's. The DesignSpark tutorials page seemed a good place to start and the first tutorial, Get started with PCB was fine. However, the rest just seem to take you to a faq page. Is there something simple i am missing? Just to be clear, i am looking at the list of tutorials that start: Get started with PCB The PCB User Interface  Starting a new PCB Project . . .      

Just updated to v13.0.02 and cannot delete a schematic page from the project.  The project menu comes up, but neither Delete nor Rename do anything.  Has always worked fine in the past.

I've recently upgraded from V11 to V13. In V13 help, it describes "Wire Links" and "Flying Wires", and would like to experiment with these. The setup requires the creation of a layer type of usage type "Wire". In my "Design Technology,  Layers" dialog, there is no selection available of usage type "Wire". What are the steps to create this layer in DSPCB13?

Many of the following changes and features were instigated from user feedback via the Support Ticket system, so please always feel free to make suggestions. The details of all enhancements and changes are in the Update Notes provided with each release. https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/dspcb-enhancements-that-you-may-have-missed

I recent upgraded to version 13 of DesignSpark Pcb, but since then have been unable to login, even after resetting my password. What do I do? 

I mean, a net label function that is similar to Altium Designer I can find it in the example file. But I cannot find this function when I design with DesignSpark PCB software

Hi All, My version 10 Desgnspark PCB expired so I tried to download ver.13. My old email did not work so I asked to renew my password, but received no email. I also have a new gmail email address, so I reregistered and that worked but to download I need to verify my email addess, and I do not receive any mail from Designspark. What can I do now? Thanks.

I've just installed V13 and it's telling me it can't activate my license.  How do I fix this?

See below pics, ultimately everything is good except for the 3D rendering -- this has never been fixed and is kind of annoying. 1st is bottom in 3D, 2nd is top side of PCB.  

I have a component, a simple resitor. I think way back when I created it to meet a particularr size restraint on a design. Im now using it again. I wanted to just edit the pcb footprint and thats where I have met the problem. Although when using the component, it appears in the schematic and on the pcb as expected, that is as a through hole resistor, if I go to edit the component in the editor the pcb footprint appears as as as a sm. How can this be?

Hey, I am using DesignSpark PCB V13.0.1. When generating manufacturing plots, there is no .drl file Can anyone give me some reason to solve this problem ? I had not this issue when using DSV12. Thank you for your help Claude  

It took awhile for me to upgrade to R13, and now I want to upgrade to R13.1. However, it turns out the upgrade to R13 did not go as planned. I have removed R12. The only version remaining is R13.0. The schematic is up to date and correct. The Library as shown in Component at the right side of the screen is almost correct. But when trying to place an additional component, even though the schematic symbol at the lower right is correct, the inserted schematic symbol is missing pin descriptions. Tried to update all components, and read the report. The project path and design path are still V12. The component path is V13. Components that were long deleted are still trying to update. Components that are currently in the schematic are missing (but only 2 or 3). The library in V12 is empty. I have disabled all library folders except my own. The already deleted parts do not appear anywhere except in the Update Components list. I can delete a few corrupted components and re-enter them, no problem. How do I sync everything? In review, there are two main problems. One, the project and design paths are wrong. Second, the list for Component Update is not the same as the library list for current Components.  Thank you! This PCB software is getting easier to use, but the rough edges continue... Perhaps the best move going forward is to start and complete a project within a single version.

 How do I get the Board outline into the Gerber file. I have it selected in the layer menu.. Here is screenshot of what I'm talking about.  

Hi there we have uploaded a new tutorial on our YouTube channel for serpentine routing in DS PCB Check it out here https://youtu.be/U3L5wjc2zu0 What kind of tutorial would you like to see? Let us know below
