Also,
one big problem with the current implementation is that you are only given the choice to check-off components on export, not import. But at export you don't know what is in your library. On i ... |

Laurent,
This used to be a one step easy process to save components to the library. Could that feature be added back. This is a very round-about way to do what should be a 1-click "save to library" ... |

The manual says that you can snap to the z-axis while ina x-y plane. But I can't get DB to do it even with z-axis spans checked.
What is the secret? Is there a force z-axis key? (maybe there should ... |
