TinyCAD

What a crap!!! Using this crap for a few weeks now and if u want a divorce, keep using this crap. I dont so I happy deleted it!!! It gives u so much frustation and stress. that it makes u a walking timebomb. The user interface really sucks!!! No logica behind! Using for example the X symbol TWO TIMES ON THE TOOLBAR is just stupid. Even my son of 14 will never program like that. Thats really dumb to do like that. Other issue is that u need to click many times with ur mouse to get things done. Other solutions do it in 1-2 clicks while this crap needs 3-4 times. It delays ur designtime a lot and ur finger get easily tired. Take for example the power symbol. U have to click on the GND symbol, select the arrow and rotate it! This should be available with one click. Its used on each sheet!!! Same with placing a symbol, the text NEVER shows up where it ahould be. U need ALWAYS to correct the placing of the text of the part. Like the ID of an IC always shows up in front of a pin in the way. Or try to copy and paste something. Thats really hell. First u select an area to copy, most of the times it will grab other parts in the area and unwilling moving them to screw up ur design. Then u undo it and try it again. Sometimes I had to try 4 times before the right area was selected. Or i had to zoom in able to select. Also zooming with the mouse doesnt work always. Have tried on 3 laptopw with different mouses, all same problem. Then when u able to paste..... moat of the connections are disconnected and parts are misplaced. U AGAIN busy with reconnecting and dragging text. Same when u update a component and replace it. U can NOT update all components one time but only by SHEET!!! What the.other reviewer wrote is correct! Then u have to CHECK EACH COMPONENT or the text is still correct placed. It will jump around and probably u have to adjust EACH COMPONENT MANUALLY!!! Also the NAME of the component is NOT UPDATED and u have to edit it again one by one. One letter wrong and ur unsortable parts list get crazy. Make a lot of backups.of ur libraries as files can become suddenly corrupt without a plausibe reason. Someone else mentioned the same problem. That people are positive about this crap is for me a miracle... maybe never used professional cad programs or just tiny projects... THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE VERSION OF A CAD PROGRAM BUT AN IDIOTIC VERSION!!!! There are much better free CAD versions out there who do all those basic CAD functions without any frustation.

I just don't believe how is it possible to have so much good reviews for this SW, it misses so much features to be just useable : - folio managment - folio wire following tool - .sgv import for external libraries - nomenclature managment There is no dynamic libraries : you modify a symbol in a middle of a project, you have to replace ALL the symbols one by one by hand in the whole project .... this is insane ! Trying to work with TinyCad is just a waste of time. Simple is not simplistic. You have try Qelectrotech just for comparison (also free, and open source, and linux/mac/Win, bla bla bla)

Using/testing TC for a few weeks now : - randomly corrupt custom libraries saves - inexusable basic functions is missing : - reorder sheet is not possible - reorder lists (other than alphabetical order) is not possible - no version managment, no index managment - no upgrading document content when object is modified in the librarie - no follow-up of the names of the cables/busses from one sheet to another Really painfull to have another usage but tiny project with tiny expectations with the output.
