Why can't symbols be copied between library parts

Sparkylabs

CS refuses to copy and paste the symbol design from one schematic symbol to another. Another appaling fail of this half hatched software ? It's a universale need to use symbols again.

  • So when was 1.5 officially released? what was the cutoff point for a licence expiry?

  • in reply to Sparkylabs

    Hi Sparky Lab's,

     

    CircuitStudio 1.5.1 release was announced 24-May-2018 but the cutoff date is sometimes a few days earlier.

     

    Best regards,

    So with a licence expiring on the 23rd it's normal that I was able to install it? I did not see any email until the 25, mighty odd the way i did get my update.

    Hi Sparky Lab's,

     

    That date would have been accepted because it's so close. The system allows for time zone differences and the exact date is sometimes a few days earlier, depending on the release cycle and whether it was released in the morning/evening, and other variables.

     

    Best regards,

    OK fair enough. Having the update is neither here nor there anyway. I believe the list of documented bugs is quit long now not to mention the lack of explanation about the detail of how stuff works yet in a year all I see is some copy and pasting in order to make up some features that are not so features.

     

    I don't quite see the every day use of the filter in schematics, PCB yes and they were already there. I'm sure the same body of code was used for this "new" feature that required some tinkering. Considering how the price goes up and down like a jack in a box and that CS is simple a marketing tool how much is the software actually worth to Altium and how much to Farnell? Just maybe someone at Farnell is regretting selling off eagle now meanwhile eagle users would do well to never trust Farnell again after the shafting they got.......
