I dowloaded tinycad because I have spent (wasted) far too much time trying to use Eagle which my boss bought and likes. I need ground symbols, earth, signal,...
The <F4> key will give you the built-in power symbols (also the wavy line icon about 20% in from the left at the top) Give it a net name to connect it. There...
Hi, Don't look in the library for power symbols. You find the power symbol on the toolbar! Click on the power symbol. Place it on the schematics page and set...
I hesitate to say this (because you said not to) but the simple fact is, if you want to use OrCAD, TinyCAD, FreePCB, or whatever, you HAVE to learn to make...
... I have managed to get TinyCAD to run and read its libraries correctly on initialisation under wine 1.0.rc3. Like previous contributors, I had the problem...
I tried to download 'TinyCAD-2.60.01-src.zip' from Sourceforge today but could not find it on the default or any of 6 other mirrors. Is there a problem and...
Thank You, For reverse connect protection we insert power diodes it power and ground. We have to show(distinguish) between signal, chassis, and earth grounds....
Guys: I'm new to TinyCAD, looking to move off of expressPCB. I tried it and was liking it, but have run into an issue. When placing a PIC microprocessor, I...
Common problem this! Best answer is usually to save, close TinyCAD, open it up again with your project. Most often this resets the 'tool' window. Otherwise as...
Yes, I agree that this behavior occasionally rears it's head. Saving the design, closing and restarting TinyCAD has always fixed it for me. There are several...
I'm busily adding hierarchical netlisting support (which is almost done) and I noticed a couple issues: 1) When I detach the Tools or Library box from the side...

Hi, I am trying to draw a schematic in TinyCAD and am having issues with the wiring. I layout my components and try to wire (using F2) and the tool snaps to...
I've had similar problems. No solution other than patience, sometimes takes several attempts to get it looking just right. In the past I did as you say and...
I would recommend you try:= Options/settings Grid settings: 'normal' or 'fine' ... Auto wire settings: all ticked (My auto snap is '18') For a symbol on the...
I've been busy with a move and work for months so it's been a while. However.....I had the very same problem and If I recall correctly solving it involved...
I have the grid to set to 'Normal' I had the default auto snap at 30 and tried 18 but didn't seem to make a difference with the warning. I also did not allow...
I had most of that made a slight change, and just drew something with no hitches, so maybe that's got it for me. I notice that in the case where I was showing...
I've just started with Tinycad. It seems that there are no footprint attributes preloaded in the libraries. With all the people using and the discussions of...
It's still a little tedious but I've started to do such a thing: Every part I buy I keep in a spreadsheet with footprint, part #, manufacturer, etc. I can...
Tried your example and got lots of 'not connected' on the resistors. Replaced them with my resistor symbol and rewired and got no problems. Put 'no connects'...
Stephen, I only suggested Freepcb since Freepcb seems to have the most references, any pcb program would be fine. Also, Freepcb uses the footrprint names from ...
Hi Steven, This is the way I solve the "problem": In TinyCAD, for every symbol you can add a number of aliases that pinpoints a specific component. This way...
Do you add an alias by "Add Name" when storing a component in the library? This is the only way I see to do it, but then the properties seem consistent for...
Yes - Once you have added the name, select it and you can then edit/add attributes and the description to what you want. Each alias will be listed separately...
Thanks Phil! I tried this out and it works great. It looks like any pin designator you want can go in the number box, including +, -, A, C, AC1, AC2 etc, so...
