If you want to give DEX 2020 another go, please let us know what Iliya is willing to organise for you. In this way we have an opportunity to work with him to continually have DEX 2020 improved. It is much better for us all to be constructive & to work with the developer. I suspect that Iliya has returned to this forum as it pops up in Google's search engine at the top/near the top of the search results. If the bugs are significant & they are not overcome, then they can be placed on the web to apply pressure on the developer to do something about it.

This gives him an opportunity to overcome them in good time. I can understand that Iliya prefers to have any bugs referred directly to him before posting them on the web. We both then have an opportunity to see how far AutoTRAX DEX 2020 has come during this past year. Send him a personal message with your trial/registration details. I'm pretty sure Iliya would do the same for you too. He asks that I download the latest copy & he has reset my trial date. Just my observation of a 6 month struggle. If you are in for a good looking, fancy application go for Autrotrax, however if you need something which will really support your work creating in a fast pace a schematic and ultimate PCB: look for something else. This, together with a heavily moderated Yahoo group (posts which Ilija dislike are not published !) forced me to go back to Eagle and to post this warning to potential users. No option to de-select part of a selection. Making selection for cut and paste is in-adequate. Part libraries which come together with the base install are just dead wrong (too small SMD pads, too small hole diameters). If you try to add parts after you have routed your PCB it will un-route the complete tracks on the PCB (Image you have done a complete +12V route and adding just one part to this +12V, it is completely un-routed.).

So it is not possible to change easily a 4E wired resistor for a 6E spaced type. As an example: - Not able to have multiple footprints for one schematic symbols and lacks ability to change footprint easily when doing PCB design (for custom made parts). It has a lot of bells and whistles but solid basic functions are poorly implemented/lacking. This program looks very nice, good looking GUI but just lacks stability and functions needed for a basic CAD schematic/PCB design package. the programmer, Ilija.This guy is not listening to experienced CAD users and unwilling to implement or change product behavior.

6 months ago I tried again, invested many many hours in it and I am sorry to say I just bought an hobbyist v7 Eagle license and dumped Autrotrax for the second time.(and probably forever). I did came across Autotrax I think about 10 years ago, did try it out and basically for the same reason (see below) I quit for several years. Hi, I would like to share my recent experience with Autotrax to this group.
