The library comprises all of components used in the Rev-Ed manuals and then some. Mycroft has created a library with a set of new components in the 'live-bug" style along with some pcb footprints that were easier to use in homebrewed pcb boards. There is also an exact size printout function that is great of toner transfer or photo homebrew pcbs. There is a free download at This free version allows any size pcb to be made that contain a maximum of 250 pins and 2 layers. These boxes are very hard to understand and how they relate to the real world.
I was tired of the generic square boxes with letter and numbers for component symbols. Very windows like commands and a very intuitive interface.īut the main selling point for me was the ease of creating components and footprints. Mycroft came across DIPTRACE, downloaded the demo and converted from EAGLE in less than a week. If you are looking for a schematic CAD program, think about the readability of your schematic and the ease of creating it. I must admit that I am not a novice user or nor are my projects very simple.īecause of my frustration with the reverse logic in the EAGLE interface, I kept trying other software. I had heard a lot of good things about EAGLE, and after 3 years of working with EAGLE I was finally able to get EAGLE to do the things that I wanted in reasonably quick amount of time.
Your choice depends on your budget, the amount of time you plan on spending learning the commands, the type of output you want and the overall ease of use and "look" of the program. There are a lot of excellent schematic / pcb CAD programs on the market. And a few hints and tips for new and old.
