Description
EAGLE is a powerful electronic design automation (EDA) tool that empowers printed circuit board (PCB) designers to effortlessly integrate schematic diagrams, component placement, PCB routing, and a comprehensive library of resources. With EAGLE, you can elevate your design process through an extensive array of PCB layout tools. The software allows you to easily drag and drop reusable design blocks across different projects while ensuring that schematic and PCB circuitry remain synchronized. You can validate your schematic designs using a complete suite of electronic rule checks, ensuring that your designs adhere to specifications. The automatic synchronization of changes between your schematic and layout enables you to concentrate on the creative aspects of your work. Additionally, the design flow is fully controllable, allowing you to avoid unforeseen issues with customizable PCB design rules and constraints. The worry-free libraries are prepared for your next project, enabling you to dynamically find and place parts that are linked to an ever-expanding catalog. This integration of tools and features makes EAGLE an invaluable asset for designers striving for efficiency and precision in their PCB projects.
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.
