Hi!
Routed length calculation is wrong (vias height does not taken into account).
CS version is 1.4.1 build 99.
When it will be fixed ?
Thanks!

Could you share any details about special offer for CS users ?
Is it comparable to CS price when it was 3k or 0.5k as now ?
In any case I'm able to finish current routing with manual length calculation.
P.S.
It looks like "dirty" marketing.
Before buy: "Hey, look! CS is able to do routing with accordions! So it is suitable for high speed a little bit."

After buy: "High speed in CS? Not heard about it."
It is sad..
a.stepanov, regarding your PS. Let's be fair and not vent our frustration on others ... one thing is to report a bug (reported net length is not the correct net length but an approximation) and one other is to accuse of 'dirty marketing'.
From Peter's activity we can see that he is very dedicated to what he's doing. He is also one of the best customer support I've seen in this field.
He does want us to benefit and get the maximum out of this software so this is how those articles got published. Not marketing but trying to help.
Those articles I think they are in a sort of gray area, even the guys from Altium I don't think they know how to position.
There is a lot of functionality that was not exposed into GUI, one can even create his own shortcuts by editing certain files ... And it's Peter's merit that he's gone public, showing that there is hidden functionality in CS and that one can try to get results comparable (but not quite there) to some of the results from higher end packages.
Functions that were not meant for CS, as previously mentioned.
{I think that the whole thing started as an idea to get the Eagle market once it's gone subscription. Whoever at Altium had the idea was inspired but I don't think he's got the right team to implement and I mean, his team lacked the strategic research. They rushed this out without thinking too much on what will follow. What we see it's a lack of coordination between marketing and sales/support, coupled with not having developers available for further development of CircuitStudio.
We can also see, and it's not fair, that CircuitStudio development is being frozen for an unknown period of time.}
Hey Anton, no need to apologise as it's all part of trying to offer tech support. It's really gratifying to read that people are finding the articles and answers useful. I appreciate there are rough edges to the product and know it can lead to frustration at times especially when it gets in the way of doing your job. I have been involved in PCB design on and off since the 80's and from experience can see that CS is a great value product provided it suits the types of designs you undertake. It isn't Altium Designer but compared with what CAD systems have historically cost it can be viewed as something of a bargain. Marius, you are correct in that dissatisfied Eagle users are a definite target market, given you can purchase CS for less than one year of Eagle Premium it is very tempting for many people. My understanding is that development of the next version is underway but it is a much slower release cycle than everyone would like, however the good news is there are very few bugs that genuinely get in the way of being able to produce those PCB layouts.
