Sorry, I didn't make a request, I only asked two questions

The plugin option is a great idea to add new functionality to Sprint-Layout, but seriously, why does it take soooo long to release an update of Sprint-Layout? Is it a one-person job?

Thanks for sharing, Ben!

Yes, it's true, that's the reason why I created a C# plugin demo to show users how to get started developing their own plugin:

I've developed a Sprint Layout Plugin Manager that allows you to manage and run multiple plugins from one convenient interface.
No more redefining plugins each time you want to use a different one — simply select the plugin you want from the list and run it directly.

Hi,

In case anyone is looking for information about how to apply V-cut panelization for JLCPCB boards, here is the webpage:

I've added a search and replace (all) option. You can for example replace layers in one go or make tracks thinner or thicker in one go:

Inspired by cdhigh Python plugin (viewtopic.php?f=70&t=5849) I've created a C# plugin demo with the help of ChatGPT ). You can find the source-code and EXE at https://github.com/cd32freak/Sprint-Layout-plugin-demo

Hi benb. Could you share your tool again, it's not available anymore. Do you also have the source-code of your tool? Thanks in advance.

Amazing plugin, you've implemented the features that were really missing in Sprint Layout! Thanks for sharing, cdhigh!

Hi,

I know this not a request forum, but I have a remark about the Component-Panel. It would be more productive if you could sort components by name. It would also help if you could filter a component, for example type "C" to filter all the capacitors. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm using the English version of Sprint Layout and when I look in the menu for the shortcuts it says Strg (Steuerung) instead of CTRL+<letter>

A bug fix for the next release?

When I have zoomed in and select another component in the list, it will now focus on that component. Thanks a lot!

Great, good to know that I'm not only one! So maybe if more people request the same, they will actually implement it

Hello,

Would it be possible to add support for 6 or more layers? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

When you select a component in the Component-Panel it gets highlighted, a great feature. However, when you zoom into your board and then you select a component in the Component-Panel, it doesn't center/focus on the component you have just selected. Could this be implemented? Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I am unable to import a Gerber file into Sprint-Layout, but I can open it in other tools like gerbv. I've included the file as a zip file. Thanks in advance
