New

We've made improvements to KiCad rendering. If you're a member of our KiCad beta program, check your files with the new changes!

• Adjusted the text size and removed text wrapping
• Render component footprint graphics for PCBs
• Render graphic items - line, text, rectangles, polygons, circles

New

We've added the convenience of automatic pan and zooming on component search. Now when you search for a component, the view will automatically zoom in on the component and center it on the screen. Neat!

[New] Announcing AllSpice Hub's blazing new rendering engine Chrysknife, named after the tool of choice of the lead character of Frank Herbert's book Dune. There's a spice joke in there for Dune fans. If your arms are too tired to read a book, there are a few good Dune film adaptations out there.

Chrysknife rendering engine

It works behind the scenes translating your ECAD files into schematics and PCBs and it's much, much faster than our previous version. Design reviews and issues covering many files will now load significantly faster, so you can get your designs done!

PS, if you know why Paul Atreides is not a hero, shhh, don't spoil it.

New

We've updated the teams add team member interface to invite new users to the platform. You can simply add their email address, they'll receive login instructions, and they'll automatically be added to your team. If you set up your team access permissions, you'll know exactly what files they can read and write.

[New] One of the most requested features!

Now your technicians, contract manufactures, or even you can search for components with their reference designators.

If you see any issues with the new part search, we'd love to hear it at mailto:support@allspice.io.

Fix

We fixed a bug where reviews weren't loading after clicking "show more". The files should correctly load and you'll be able to complete your reviews!
