Description

Introducing an efficient and robust CAD/EDA/3D conversion solution that simplifies the process of transforming between various prevalent EDA and CAD formats, including DXF, Gerber, GDS-II, DWG, Postscript, PDF, HPGL, NC Drill/Rout, OASIS, along with image files, ODB++, IPC-2581, SVG, and 3D formats such as STEP and STL. ACE 2D/3D boasts an impressive array of over 150 valuable translators for EDA, CAD, and 3D formats, ensuring you're well-equipped to manage any file conversion task seamlessly. Priced competitively, ACE 2D/3D is more affordable than many single-format CAD translation tools, and with its extensive selection of integrated translators, it provides exceptional value for users. Furthermore, it offers flexible licensing options, including Subscription and Perpetual Licenses, catering to both individuals and engineering teams, making it a suitable choice for everyone from beginners and hobbyists to seasoned CAD professionals. With ACE 2D/3D, you can confidently tackle diverse file formats and enhance your engineering workflow.

Description

DipTrace is a professional PCB design suite from Novarm Ltd, in continuous development since 2004 and used by over 30,000 engineers across 50+ countries. Companies in aerospace, defense, medical devices, and industrial electronics rely on it for production work. The suite covers the full design flow in one environment. Schematic Capture handles multi-sheet hierarchical projects with electrical rule check, a Digital SPICE Simulator for analog and digital circuits, and cross-selection with the board. PCB Layout provides interactive push-and-shove editing, where moving or rotating a placed component displaces neighbouring traces and vias as you work, and dragged traces route themselves around pads, keepouts, and existing copper. Designers choose whether design rules are enforced at all times or violations are permitted deliberately. High-speed work is supported through differential pair routing, length matching, layer stackup management, and a PCB calculator. Manufacturing output covers Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, NC Drill, and STEP for mechanical CAD. Version 5.3 introduced a native XML project format that mirrors the binary format feature for feature, making designs practical to keep under Git or another version control system. Component sourcing runs through a database-powered search with Mouser integration and SnapEDA access to more than 10 million parts. Projects import from Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, EasyEDA Pro, Pulsonix, and PADS. DipTrace runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Licensing is perpetual — bought once, with no subscription or maintenance fees — across five editions starting at $75. Technical support is provided to every user, including those on the free edition.
