Hello, DS multilayer PCB vias have pads also in the layer with no connection. This implies that internal GND planes for example under a BGA have a lot of holes larger with respect to what needed for vias without unused pads.  Is there a way to avoid unused pads on vias? Thanks Antonio

Hi, Is there a way to report a bug other than the forum? In DSPCB11 I found that when you make a change to an already used component, update component does not work. Even if you instantiate the new component, the old version that seems to be embedded in the sheet pops up. You have to delete all instances of the component on the sheet to be able to instantiate the new version. Geert  

Is there a change log available (as there usually has been in the past) listing the changes in DS PCB software between version 10 and version 11?

Hi, I just installed DS PCB 11, I'm a long time user but now there's something I don't get: in the schematic editor I cannot do Copy/Paste (ctrl c and ctrl v). Also, when I right-click there is no menu item copy or paste. When I do ctrl c on a component I can see it in the clipboard, so copy seems to work. Copy and paste are working in all other Windows programs. I checked my keyboard, it is not in caps lock. I restarted/rebooted, to no avail..... I use Windows 10 Pro Geert

Hello, during start the DSP 11.0 I got the following Message: Error code: 12507  Does someone have any idea to solve that problem? best reagrds Franz  

The latest version of the DesignSpark PCB software V11 is now available from here:https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/pcb-download-and-installation Information about the different levels of functionality are available here:https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/subscriptions-pricing-page 

I'm a new user to the PCB design field and I'm trying to design a board from a schematic that was published many years ago. I need to place about 16 LEDs under each other as in the attached schematic but as you can see they are too big to fit without becoming overlapped. Is it possible to make the component symbols smaller? Thanks. 

I have an issue with the copper pour functionality in DesignSpark PCB. I have 2 SM diodes that both have the cathode connected to a row of vias, these vias bringing through 24V from the top copper to the bottom copper. The attached file shows the diodes, vias and copper pour area along with the settings for thermal relief. All pad and via nets to be connected by the plane are set to +24V, along with the net of the copper pour itself. There is plenty of space around the pads to allow the set spoke size to be created. However, when I pour the copper, no spokes are created and it throws up a connection error. I am not sure what is causing this. I can workaround it by setting pad exceptions to isolate from the plane and adding in spokes manually, but would like to do it properly. Has anyone come across this issue previously? Is there something simple I'm missing?

For a first time user with some experience this package is unusable. Every single action is an issue! Not worth the effort. One can not watch a video for every single thing one needs to do. I honestly expected a more streamlined product. Yes it is free, but without some sort of manual I have abandoned it for KiCAD. 

Greets - is there any way to import a DXF (or equivalent dimensionally-accurate vector file) as a layout reference for a PCB footprint? This could be on a non-copper layer such as silkscreen, but just to ensure pad location is correct for some oddly-measured parts, such as an SD card socket. I'm not looking for a PCB perimiter or mounting hole for the final PCB, but as a layout reference for the component footprint. Thanks, Ted.

Hi I created a "value" field for each component I use.  The value is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and Denomination of Quantity (DOQ) for each component.   I might need 3x of a component, but if the MOQ is 5x, that is what I will need to order.  Also, if the part number is for a DOQ = packet of 5x components , I want to avoid order 3x  5x  = 15 parts. I want to produce a custom BOM which includes the added MOQ and DOM fields.  I have tried to do this in ver 10, but I can't find a way.

I have a small project that I would like to be on a smaller footprint. I am using SM technology but the uautorouter will not place compunents on the reverse side of the pcb even when those attributes are selected. How can I get the router to place double sided?

Hi All, I've downloaded the available CAD file for acomponent I'm using from the RS website. It's a .rsdoc file which I can open in Designspark Mechanical. Is it possible to import this into DesignSpark PCB so I can use it in 3D view? I've read what I can find & it seems that I can only modify one of the existing Package Styles Tnx Dave

Hi I can log on via your website and see my Design Spark PCB profile etc, but when the programme boots up the sign on page does not respond and therefore I am stuck. Note from Moderator - attachement removed as it shows e-mail address, but information has been passed to DesignSpark Software team.
