OpenBoardData integration | Community collective data project for providing board level measurements. Multimeter data capture also supported from supported meters |
Improved international character support | Filenames/paths with extended characters supported, including Windows UTF16 |
macOS 10.13 HighSierra base-level shift | The baseline macOS support has been moved from Yosemite to HighSierra in order to support the new features |
Improved shape rendering | Two pad parts such as caps, resistors, and diode are now rendered with rectangular pads for more realism |
Part colour assignments | Parts can now be coloured based on their type; allows for easier differentiation between caps, resistors and diodes etc |
Improved Part Find facility | Part find search facility has been greatly improved and now works more reliably with multiple parameter search |
Support for OpenBoardData | OpenBoardData is a diagnostics overlay dataset providing diode, voltage and resistance readings for various boards. |
Support for BVRe formatted files added | BVR files with the header BVR3E001 signature |
Licence file import option | Too alleviate keyboard/international differences, FlexBV will now generate a downloadable licence file that can be loaded, rather than typed in |
Butterfly View | See both sides of the board simultaniously, including the netweb spanning across both, making it easier to visualise the connections between the parts. |
macOS Retina Support | Take advantage of the high DPI screens provided with Macbooks for crisper rendering of boards and schematics |
User defined keys | Configure FlexBV to use the keys you prefer for most functions. |
Colour themes | Create your own PCB colour themes, it's now easy with the new Colour preferences menu to make PCBs look more how you want |
More file formats supported | It is now possible to read common EDA tool export formats, meaning you can create and share boardviews for other people working on production jobs
|
PDF Copy-paste supported for searching | Easier now to search for what you're looking for |
PDF Internal-search of existing item (ctrl + right click) | Lets you search for other occurences of a string occurence within the PDF without having to manually type in the search text or jump from the Boardview |
