- ● Customizable viewer backgrounds for schematic, PCB, and 3D windows
Release Notes — v1.0.3
May 18, 2026
3D PCB Viewer
- ✓ Real board outline at the actual manufactured dimensions — no more tiny board with components floating beside it
- ✓ Full routed traces rendered on both the front and back copper layers
- ✓ Silver SMD and through-hole pads visible beneath the soldermask, just like a real board
- ✓ Bottom-side components properly placed under the substrate so you can flip the board and see them
- ✓ Silkscreen reference labels (R1, U2, C12…) printed beside every component, matching the way real boards are marked
Circuit Simulation
- ✓ Engineering-notation results everywhere — values automatically render as mV, kΩ, mA, µF instead of long decimals
- ✓ Multi-rail power supply breakdown showing voltage, current and total power per rail
- ✓ More accurate component value parsing — 1M now correctly means 1 megaohm, 1m means 1 milliohm
- ✓ First-class simulator support for transformers, thermistors, optocouplers, varistors and crystals
- ✓ Improved Monte Carlo display for digital and microcontroller designs that don't have analog operating points
- ✓ Cleaner result tables — no more 27 identical rows, and proper split between branch currents and node voltages
Mechanical CAD
- ✓ Dramatically more reliable design generation — far more briefs complete on the first attempt
- ✓ Unified, faster mechanical engine with quicker startup and lower memory usage
- ✓ Cleaner recovery when a single shape operation fails — the rest of the design still completes
- ✓ STL export is now always written so the 3D viewer can load the result immediately
Workspace & Onboarding
- ✓ New welcome modal walks first-time users through the platform and stays a click away from the Help button
- ✓ Closing modals and dialogs is now obvious on phones with a clearly visible close button
- ✓ Round-two mobile polish across the pipeline bar, login, pricing and admin pages
- ✓ “View Sim Results” pill lifted above the prompt bar so it never overlaps on small screens
AI Pipeline
- ✓ Upgraded to the latest generation AI model for higher-quality schematic, PCB and mechanical output
- ✓ Live chip on the netlist stage shows which reference-design parts were auto-injected for you
- ✓ Smarter merging of multi-block designs preserves datasheets and removes duplicate connectors
- ✓ Pull-up resistor rails now resolve correctly when a design uses inheritance across modules
Reliability
- ✓ Design Rule Check timeout automatically scales with board size — large boards no longer time out
- ✓ Stricter handling of airwires so unrouted nets surface in the status panel instead of being skipped silently
- ✓ Mechanical runner crash loop fixed — every successful run persists its results
- ✓ Background self-healing keeps the engines responsive even if a single job misbehaves
Platform
- ✓ iRobotics module promoted from Coming Soon to Beta with a live entry point
- ✓ Refreshed Help center reflecting all v1.0.3 capabilities
Release Notes — v1.0.2
May 4, 2026
Schematic Quality
- ✓ Power pins land on the top of every IC, ground on the bottom, signals split by category on the sides — like a hand-drawn engineering schematic
- ✓ Decoupling caps and pull-up resistors automatically grouped with their parent IC instead of stranded in a separate column
- ✓ Power and ground symbols (+3V3, +5V, GND, etc.) drawn at every connected pin instead of long crossing wires
- ✓ Vertical passives matching standard symbol conventions
- ✓ Wires now terminate at the actual pin tip — no more "floating" or wires-through-components
PCB Quality
- ✓ Components packed into a tight rectangle with no wasted board space
- ✓ Eliminated power-trace shorts on multi-layer boards — vias drop straight to the dedicated power and ground planes
- ✓ Critical RF and antenna nets routed first for the cleanest signal path
- ✓ Real component dimensions used during placement — no more cluster overflow into neighbors
- ✓ Live diagnostics chip on the PCB stage shows under-routed parts and low-confidence pin assignments
AI Pipeline
- ✓ Per-IC verification pass — every pin on every chip is now individually validated against its real datasheet pinout
- ✓ Automated audit-and-fix step closes orphan nets the AI may have left dangling
- ✓ Massively expanded parts library — ~17,000 symbols including the latest ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6, RP2040, and more
- ✓ Unknown ICs no longer collapse into a 2-pin placeholder — the schematic now draws every pad with proper electrical types
Workspace & Viewers
- ✓ Brief tab now shows your design description and writing tips at a glance
- ✓ Background color picker for each viewer — pick from light, dark, blueprint, or any custom color independently for schematic, PCB 2D, mechanical 3D, and PCB 3D
- ✓ Day-mode contrast improvements across the 3D viewer toolbars and zoom controls
- ✓ Persistent simulation launcher row — SPICE, EM, thermal, and signal-integrity buttons stay visible after the first run
- ✓ Pipeline tabs always navigable — back-stepping after generation no longer locks the workflow
Reliability
- ✓ Schematic stage no longer hangs — status polling decoupled from rate limits
- ✓ PCB stage gracefully handles design-engine errors instead of silently advancing
- ✓ AI responses recover automatically from partial / truncated output
- ✓ Stronger retry logic for transient design-engine connectivity blips
Platform
- ✓ iOrchestra now leads the platform launcher with iRobotics added as a coming-soon module
- ✓ Refreshed Help center reflecting all v1.0.2 capabilities
