This is a beta version with the new draw block implemented by 2022 HLP class, which allows auto-routing with symbols rotated and flipped. A number of other enhancements have been folded in.

Main New Features

  • All components can be rotated and flipped.
  • Custom component ports can be reordered, and moved to different sides by dragging (Ctrl/drag).
  • Custom components auto-resize.
  • Clock symbols are shown on custom components that contain clocked logic.
  • Wires can be styled with jumps (old Issie), modern wires (no jumps, black circles indicate connection), or radiused (prettier).
  • Wires have optional arrows to disambiguate direction.
  • Component labels can be repositioned by dragging, or rotating.
  • Wires snap to same net wires on dragging, making it easy to position neatly.
  • Components snap to alignment with other components, and to wires having no kinks, on dragging.
  • Components can be aligned or distributed.
  • Components are resized for better usability and slimline versions of Bus Select and Wire Label are now used.
  • Persistent data is now available so that last project and wire style is remembered.
  • Fit-to-window is now improved (circuits are centred on sheet) and done automatically on loading a sheet.
