CircuitStudio 1.5.2 Hotfix Now Available

e14softwareuk

1 Mar 2019

We are pleased to announce that a new version of CircuitStudio is now available. This hotfix addresses the withdrawal by Digi-Key of their supplier API that was used as a data feed for Digi-Key supplier links within CircuitStudio. As a bonus CircuitStudio users also gain access to a much wider range of supplier data than before.

 

V1.5.2 is available to everyone with an active maintenance subscription. You can install version 1.5.2 (build 30) via the Update System in CircuitStudio or perform a new install. It is possible to install this version in parallel with your existing installation by running a new install and selecting a different folder location.

 

To install the update from within CircuitStudio:

  1. Select View | Start to open the Home page
  2. When signed in select My Account >> Extensions and Updates.
  3. Click the CircuitStudio 1.5.2.30 update link to start the process
  4. Restart CircuitStudio when prompted to allow the installer to run

 

To perform a fresh install:

  1. Visit https://www.altium.com/circuitstudio/download-guide to obtain the latest installer.
  2. Once downloaded run the installer
  3. Optionally change the installation folder if you want to keep your existing copy of CircuitStudio

 

Altium Parts Provider

CircuitStudio 1.5.2 (build 30) hotfix addresses one item: to replace the Suppliers in the Supplier Links feature with a provider that is controlled by Altium. This Altium Parts Provider extension is new to CircuitStudio and can be used to provide the supplier information from a greater number of suppliers. To enable Digi-Key you will need USA selected. If the Digi-Key option does not appear you will need to disable the legacy supplier link as explained below (File > System Preferences dialog).

The System Preferences > Data Management > Suppliers dialog includes the Altium Parts Options section at the top, which is used for suppliers that aren't enabled in the legacy system. Legacy suppliers have a higher priority, if they are enabled the corresponding supplier from Altium Parts Options won't be used. In particular it will be necessary to disable the legacy Digi-Key data feed as shown below.

Alternatively you can remove the legacy supplier by disabling the platform extension (this will remove it from the legacy Available Suppliers list).

Any problems getting up and running please post on the forums or contact software@element14.com for assistance.

 

Release Notes

#739 Added the Altium Parts Provider supplier to CircuitStudio. Direct suppliers (in "Available Suppliers" section of System Preferences > Data Management > Suppliers) have a higher priority, so since Digi-Key direct supplier is no longer supported, please un-tick it.

    Hi, So if I don't use the Digikey data there is zero reason to upgrade. Ummm. I thought I would get useful updates by paying my tax. To bad. Andy

    Not worth maintaining subscription for this. I will renew ours when some of the bugs are fixed or something useful is actually released.

    This is an engineering community website, so I can only give you free advice, worth exactly that.

    according to a comment here: Licensing woes

    Also, it's never worth buying any software products without trying it first, or at least reading reviews, checking the release history, and so on. Otherwise it's going to be a headache working through defects and the support system, or getting refunds which is country-specific and often with esoteric legislation since it's a business transaction and not a consumer transaction. It doesn't get you back the time you spent learning the software package either. All this can be eliminated by trying trial software first, reading reviews and so on.

    This is a bad joke of a program. Support is stopped, the tool is full of bugs and they still sell it online as if it was a useable tool.

    Lucky you! They taxed me twice and I can't get any person on phone or email to get my money back.

    Unable to download and install this software at all. The download hangs up and cannot get passed the Base-PCB package.
