software, announces the release of DipTrace 1.30, a fully functional
software package. DipTrace is bundled with 4
Novarm\'s front-end modules, Schematic, PCB Layout, Pattern Editor and
Component Editor. This smart tool is aimed at small and medium businesses,
incorporating a series of advanced
capabilities. Six month in development, version 1.30 is the culmination of
collaborative relationships with many PCB designers worldwide, in the U.S., Europe
and Asia.

Press Release Body = This ECAD software has a very intuitive user interface and many
innovative features that most marketed PCB Design packages lack. Among its new
features improved color settings, part rotation by a desired angle, static vias
placement, Electra autorouter support and enhanced manual routing tools. With
DipTrace 1.30 you can select white or black background for your design area, or
create your own preference templates. User-defined additional fields are now
available in Pattern and Component Editors. Thanks to the ongoing collaboration with
ConnectEDA, one of the leading routing tool developers, DipTrace 1.30 supports their
Electra auto-router now. A simple three-step high-quality routing is available now
with Electra auto-router: export your unrouted board into .dsn file, route it with
Electra and import it back into DipTrace. In its new version you can easily zoom
using mouse wheel. A series of handy hotkeys, trace length measurement tool, locking
objects and more new features have been added. The new version also includes netlist
support of widely used formats.

DipTrace 1.30 runs native on WinNT/2000/XP platforms. It is now available online or
