The idea of this post is not to rant about the software but to provide feedback to the team so they can improve the application
I’ve completed my first schematic with Upverter and soon will start the layout. Some things that bothered me while drawing the schematic that I would like to see improved:
- You are forced to give the net a name when this has 3 branches
- You cannot have a net connection with 4 branches to the same point, making it look untidy
- When you rotate a component from horizontal to vertical, the refdes and value go to an odd position and need to be arranged manually
- Sometimes when you move a net, it changes other section of the net so you cannot make the schematic look like you want to
- When looking for components there is no parametric search, also there is no way to know its current status in DigiKey or Mouser
- Most DigiKey part numbers do not appear when you see the online BOM
- You cannot put in the schematic basic shapes such as rectangles and circles
- You cannot change the size of the text added to the schematic
That’s all for now, I will update when I create the PCB.
Thank you
