DSPCB 8 (beta 4) Technology file defaults
Answered
I'm having an issue with Design Technology files in beta 4. Every time I start a new project, my Track Styles are missing, and Layer Colors are reset. I'm sure there are more issues, but that's all that I've noticed so far.
I thought about saving my defaults to a custom Technology File in the Technology Transfer windows, but I'm unable to. The options are grayed out.
What to do?

OK. It's affecting all defaults.

Try a new download. Since your beta4 test there has been a nex beta5 and now a first test of V8.0 release. I have requested the current version that is available be notified for future releases to allow us to know when a new version for testing is available.
I had a similar issue when selecting default technology at the sch to pcb step, if you select a technology then it worked in my tests.
If it still occurs for you make sure you raise a support ticket.

Just upgraded to the latest. Now I get an authorization error :(

I'm still using version 7 (most current) and I am now getting the same dialog at startup that DesignSpark PCB is unable to verify authorisation that Dam Korneff reported.
However, a few seconds later the dialog disappears and the program seems to still work.
Last time I used DSPCB I never got the can't authorize dialog.
Perhaps the URL for authorization has changed for some reason and needs to be rechecked.

We apologise that we have a server issue being investigated.
The message is a warning, normally caused by a local internet connection, however in this instance the server is not responding. Provided your program was activated it should continue to function as normal. This can be checked if the "Save" function is active.

I am experiencing the same issues with the Design Technology files & defaults in DSPCB 8.0. Default Track Styles are missing and the default colours don't make sense.

Looks like DSPCB can't read the technology files. Appears to be a mistake in the directory tree?
My technology files are located in:
D:\Documents\DesignSpark PCB Library 8.0\Technology
but the program is referencing:
D:\Documents\DesignSpark PCB Library 8.0\Technology\D:\Documents\DesignSpark PCB Library 8.0\Technology
as the directory.

I have the same error message as Dan when importing schematic technology files using technology transfer.
The code is adding the selected path to the file twice
file "selected_path\selected_path\filename.stf"

Yes, this is as known, see their 'official comment' at the top of the page.
