Bancika has released a test version of DIYLC. Version 53.
Here's some screen shots of a bunch of components.

Note that twisted pair wires and wires with different colored stripes are new :)

And a new feature:
You can now export and import variants and Building Blocks.
I added some variant files to the DIYLC library that you can import
Look in the Template Folder

You will notice in version 53 that your actual workspace is surrounded by an extra working area.

In my screen shot:
The area inside the dotted line is my actual workspace.
The area outside the dotted line is an area you can use to drop parts or drag parts, etc

Thanks for the explanation.  I just downloaded version 53 and couldn't figure this out.


I love this program, but I really need to get a bigger monitor.  Still using my old 19" from 2 computers ago.

I use twin 23" monitors
Not that I need two monitors for DIYLC, but it's handy to not have other software on the 2nd monitor
