In regards with the heatsinks, there is room for the regulators.

I was told in another post that the MUR860s dont need to be placed on heatsinks!!!

Also, there are arrows from C7 & C8, what are they supposed to be?

Heatsink is needed if you run more than 2-3 A through the diodes.

1 A => 0.7W

2 A => 1.7 W

3 A => 3 W

Approximate values.

Are you sure those diodes' polarity needed correcting?

Software didnt complain the way they were originally!

Also, C7 & C8 need to be as close to the Regulator as possible, why do you suggest I move them all the way down?

Yes.

....why do you suggest I move them all the way down?

This way you can achieve thicker output traces.

Hi Milan,

when I change the diodes' polarities in the software, and I do an Electrical check, it complains that those diodes are not connected.

When I leave them the way they were originally, everything is fine.
