![]() Also since they are free/open source you can publish the schematics and PCB layout without fear of them being lost because of some unsupportable commercial format when the company disappears. Both are excellent packages and you can use them unlimited to create whatever hobbyist project you want. The solution is to use either gEDA or KiCAD which are both Free/Open Source software. Those designs are not possible with the entry editions of either Eagle or DipTrace. I have several Euroboard (160x100 mm) designs that exceed 1000 holes. Diptrace forum software#Commercial EDA software uses proprietary and *non-portable* formats so once you start you are stuck with them forever unless you are willing to recreate your designs in another EDA tool. It will not take much of a project to exceed the limitations of either programs beginner editions and by then it will be too late. Both are commercial programs and are severely limited. Hi! IMO, neither Eagle nor DipTrace are appropriate software for hobbyist EDA. Diptrace forum password#to moderator: Captha doesn't work on password reminder (always says it is incorrect), so I have registered new account. Also this version will have new pattern libraries (+ all patterns have standartized names, which are similar to patterns inside component libraries). Diptrace forum manual#In the next release (2.2) we add net classes with multiple rules set, strict via styles to easily handle blind/buried vias, 3D preview and significantly improve manual routing + many minor improvements. Also all libraries/designs are separate files (you operates with them like with all other windows files). Diptrace forum update#when you change footpring in some library - it will not be automatically changed in schematic/pcb files where you placed it (you can update it manually though). Currently each program has independent data, i.e. We plan to redesign library/file connection/search system in version 2.3 (maybe will also add project file which unites all data and updates automatically). ![]() They also have a few issues with the way they handle their library folders. Handling a large bom is a bit of trouble. The PCB design and Schematic is ok, but coordination between the four editor programs (pcb, schematic, component, design) is lacking in some regards. ![]()
