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.
Description
ZenitPCB Layout serves as an outstanding tool for generating professional printed circuit boards (PCBs). This user-friendly and adaptable CAD software enables you to complete your projects efficiently within a short timeframe. Available as freeware for personal or semi-professional use, it is restricted to 800 pins, effectively distinguishing between hobbyist and professional endeavors. With ZenitPCB Layout, you can initiate your designs from either a schematic capture or directly from the layout. The software is equipped with all necessary features to produce high-quality PCBs, accommodating both single-sided and double-sided designs, while adhering to individual project requirements or general guidelines through net class specifications. Additionally, for enhanced oversight of your project, you can examine the generated Gerber files using the ZenitPCB GerberView tool, ensuring that every detail meets your expectations. This comprehensive approach makes ZenitPCB Layout a valuable asset for anyone involved in PCB design.
