- Automatic component placement (press F9 or the Start button on the toolbar) has been considerably improved. In previous versions, components often overlapped. Placement keepouts have not been implemented yet.
- The search panel has been added. It allows you to search for components, nets and padstacks by name or substring.
Autorouting mode (F6)
- Support for wires with fixed geometry and fixed vias has been added
- The text in signal layers is considered during routing
Manual editing mode (F7)
- Undo for all editing commands.
- The search panel has been added. It allows you to search for components, nets and padstacks by name or substring
- Support for wires with fixed geometry and vias has been added
- Manual switching of functionally equivalent pins (Pin Swap)
- Multiple selection of wires and segments
- User can choose how to highlight selected objects: by colour or by brightness
"FreeStyle" editing mode (F8)
- Optimization of topological routes for wires (refine) during automatic movement of components and vias (press the Start button on toolbar)
- The search panel has been added. It allows you to search for components, nets and padstacks by name or substring
- Support for wires with fixed geometry and vias has been added
- Consideration of text on signal layers and silkscreen layers
The following features have been added:
- Export to DXF format
- Generation of GERBER files
- Generation of ECO files
