Osmond PCB is substantially complete and is currently available for public beta testing. A growing number of printed circuit boards have already been successfully built. Versions are available for 68K, PPC, and X environments. Based on user reports, Osmond will not work with MacOS versions prior to 8.1.
Limitations:
This version of the application is being offered on a free trial basis. You may use it for your printed circuit board projects without restrictions. However, this beta version is not to be redistributed. It is available solely from my web site. Later versions may be offered as shareware.
What's New:
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when building new parts.
Fixed a bug that will cause a crash when a selected freehand path is deleted.
When using the Select tool, holding down the Command and Option keys simultaneously enables the manual scroll feature. Holding down the Control key enables selection over all layers.
The Delete key no longer copies the deleted objects to the clipboard.
Imported PDF files are now released cleanly when no longer needed.
After using the Move Selected dialog, the rusults were not immediately displayed. This has been corrected.
Fixed a bug that could allow a clearance violation if the width of a trace is larger than the width of a pad to which it connects.
