OsmondCocoa 1.1.16

Osmond PCB is a flexible tool for designing printed circuit boards. Osmond PCB is substantially complete and is currently available for public beta testing. A growing number of printed circuit boards have already been successfully built.

After researching the user reports, we got to the conclusion that Osmond will not work with Mac OS versions earlier than 8.1 but we have versions are available for PPC, 68K, and X environments.

Here are some key features of "OsmondCocoa":

· Virtually unlimited board sizes
· Virtually unlimited number of board layers
· Virtually unlimited number of parts
· Spatial resolution down to 10 nanometer
· Concurrent support for both Imperial and Metric units
· All angle routing
· Rubber-band traces
· Rats Nest Layer
· Variable size grid
· Support for both through-hole and surface mount parts
· Circular, rectangular, and oval pads
· Easy part editing
· Variable trace widths
· Variable trace spacing
· Curved traces
· Silkscreen, solder-mask, and auxiliary layers
· Signal and ground planes
· Copper fill areas
· Automatic clearance checks
· Easy manual and semi-automatic routing
· Built-in script language
· Gerber (RS-274X) and drill file (Excellon) output
· DXF file output
· DXF file input
· Encapsulated PostScript file output
· Net check output (IPC-356).

Limitations:

· Without the access code, Osmond will disallow printing, Gerber, and Postscript output of designs with more than 700 pins.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Added the Export -> Solder Paste Design... menu command which creates a new Osmond design from the current design to permit finer control over the creation of solder paste templates. The new design retains from the original design only surface mount pads, which can then be modified or augmented as needed.
· Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when exporting a PostScript file of a very large board.
· Fixed a bug that could cause portions of a rotated rectangular pad to not draw correctly.
· When searching for a part, real parts will be searched before text parts.
· When exporting Gerber files, a warning will be given if parts are found outside the working area.
· Fixed a bug that could cause the Change Pin dialog to not display the correct pad types on inner layers when copying from an existing pin. The same problem also existed with the New Pin dialog.
· Fixed a bug that could cause the Vector Font or Apple Font selection buttons to be incorrectly set in the Text dialog.
· Fixed a bug that could ...
