AGBoard - PCBEditor

- Panelization: the whole board — every layer, with its components — repeats as a step and repeat, up to 50 × 50 copies, for the memory of one board. An edit applies to every copy, “Detach copies” makes them independent, and Gerber, ODB++ and IPC-2581 export keep the step and repeat. - iPhone Duo: open, AGBoard fills the whole inner display; closed, it works on the outer display. The toolbar and the guided tour keep clear of the camera, and half folded the toolbar stays on one side of the fold. - Large boards: jobs with dozens of layers open faster, scroll smoothly, and the 3D view fits in memory. Arcs display much faster in 3D. - Layer alignment: an area aligns on the centre of its surface, the move is exact, and a banner says how far the layer moved. - Layers button: it moves all the way to every edge of the screen, goes right down to the bottom, and no longer slips under the toolbar or off the screen. - 3D: Gerber X3 components turn the right way, bodies measured from their pads follow their orientation, hidden steps of an ODB++ job no longer drill the board, and zero-width DXF lines show up. - Eagle: parts on the bottom turned a quarter turn sit where they belong. KiCad: a cut-short file opens with what it holds. BoardView: a damaged line no longer stops the file opening, and an incomplete file says so. - ODB++: flipped panels (FLIP), nets on surfaces and negative planes, and blind and buried vias on export. Saving as KiCad refuses an edit it cannot write instead of losing it. - Previews in the Files app for AGBoard Pro subscribers: the thumbnail shows the board, and the preview shows it as a PDF, layer by layer. - “Open with” from the Files app now opens the file, even when the app was closed. - Fewer alerts: plain import notes stay in Import report. An alert appears only when a file is incomplete or cannot be read. - The app says clearly when a file is not the right one or was cut short: an empty file, a Git LFS pointer, a saved web page, a RAR or password-protected archive, an interrupted download, an Allegro board. An incomplete Gerber or drill file is reported instead of opening half-drawn. - AGBoard Pro: the subscription plans open at any time, from the start screen (“AGBoard Pro plans”) or the Help menu. - “Send to developer” can attach the file that causes the problem, even when it does not open. You choose whether to send it, from your own email. - 3D: the outline, thickness and inner-layer depths an ODB++ or IPC-2581 file states are used; ODB++ components have the height and shape the file gives them. - DXF: an edited drawing saves as DXF, rewriting only the objects that changed. AutoCAD tables and multi-line text display, and “Add shape” offers a line. - Altium: “binary” .DRL files, blind vias (.TX1) and the .GM board outline are read; Circuit Studio boards (.CSPcbDoc) open. - Archives: 7z, .tar.xz, .tar.bz2 and ZIP64. Allegro (nc_param.txt), Zuken CR-8000 and unusual extensions (OrCAD, VeriBest, gEDA…) are recognised; Excellon arcs and repeated patterns are drawn. - KiCad: a project with no board opens its schematic. Large ODB++ jobs open faster, and ODB++ and IPC-2581 export handle filled outlines and thermal pads.
