Hi!

First of all, I'd like to thank you for creating this awesome application. It took me no more than a couple of hours before I "completed" my first fritzing designed PCB! That is amazing :)

I noticed a few bugs during the design, and I've got some suggestions. First of all, the bugs:

• Say I'm design a PCB with two layers, and suddenly the application crashes. When loading the last save, or opening the backup, then it doesn't look like fritzing remembers that I was using two layers. It goes back to showing only one of the layers. This also hides the routes in the other layer. Also, when entering the options for the pcb, the PCB still has the option "two layers" selected. I then have to select "one layer", then "two layers" again. After this procedure, both layers appear.
• Fritzing does not seem to remember the grid settings. I have to enter the grid size and "snap to grid" every time I open the application. This happens for breadboard, circuit and PCB-view.

Suggestions:

• Being able to show the grid as an overlay on top of everything would have been a very nice option.
• Being able to lock the pcb to a fixed position would also have been nice. I accidently move it all the time.

I think that is it. I'm not sitting in front of the computer that got Fritzing on it, so sorry for any spelling errors regarding the functions of this application.

Hi Tomas,

Just tried to replicate the "forgetting grid settings" problem, but at least on the PC, Fritzing remembered them.  Which platform are you on?

Thanks.

i have had your layer problem a couple of times.

you can stop the madness by editting the xml.  back up the file whateveryoucallyoursketch.fz then open it in your favorite text edittor.  locate a line with the following

<instance moduleIdRef="RectanglePCBModuleID"

this is an extra single layer pcb that has somehow insinuated itself into your sketch.  you want to delete everything from this line to its matching </instance> tag.  probably about seven lines.

Thanks for the fix!
