Just joined, so I'm sure this was already discussed in lenth. Could someone point me to a download area for more library's. AND I need to create symbols, e.g....

I had to (twice already) reconnect virtually every pin on my circuit design. And there is a lot of pins. So i got everything good, everyting connected....
See message thread starting at #1056 'Wiring woes' The problem is usually caused by not using 'Snap to grid' when placing pins in a symbol and/or when placing...
I've had this happen too. In my case it's because I didn't have the grid setting on. What's worse, when you turn it on, it wont snap then, you have to either...

Incredible! I hope this bug is being worked on. IMO this is totally unacceptable from such a program... the part of it that is most attractive, is the part...
Once you get used to it (like many other programs) you automatically avoid the problems. I've been using it for over a year (after ditching OrCAD) with few...

I just joined this group. If anyone has created a symbol library for the symbol library for the MAX 232 or MAX 3232 interface chip, I would greatly appreciate...
Likewise I just joined the group today while trying to get into TinyCad for the first time. I have just a few minutes ago put a Max232 into my first schematic....

Ok thanks... after I wrote that post, I explored how to create a symbol.. I achieved some success but did not find a way to declare the package type. This will...
I have just started using TinyCad so I apologise in advance if this is just finger trouble. Every so often while building a schematic it semi freezes with the...

Yesterday I worked most of the day learning the ins and outs of this program. In fact, I spent many hours getting all the connections to "stick." Finally, I...
... Hi, This is a known "bug". If you use TinyCAD without having "Snap to grid" ON when drawing the schematics or the symbols you will get in trouble. This is...
There is a version of a MAX232 in <Files\Libraries\Mar08_Spare.mdb> (left hand side of this web page) The way to link to a footprint is with a 'Package'...

Can some one point me to a library entry for the 74HC253? Thanks...
If anyone is still interested in compiling TinyCAD in Visual Studio 2008 professional, I have come up with a project file and some modified source files to...
See file <Mar08_spare.mdb>in the libraries section. I have added 2 versions of the 253. You can change the footprint easily if DIP16 is not suitable. This was...
