and when i upgraded, this work was mostly lost.Īt the time i made that decision, my programming abilities had reached a certain level and i had grown to prefer p2p wiring if possible.
I put incredibe work in having libraries with consistent naming for GND, Vcc, etc. I would sell it for few $$ anytime.Įagle was fine and mostly copperative, the only thing that drove me crazy as with other ECADS i tried out was that they changed their library format from version to version and partially incompatible to the preceding version. It drove me crazy, artwork hardly came out as i liked it, interface between schematic and PCB was weird and way from being directionally associative/annotating, so i aboandoned to use it. Me too owns Ultiboard, me too paid for it.īut do you believe this forces me to stick with it? No. I hope this helps you more than it confuses you. So try out as many programs as you can, and don't rush the decision.
If you want a simulator, Electronics Workbench would definately be something to look at.Īnyway, if you are spending that much money on software, YOU MUST TRY IT OUT FIRST!!! My teacher loves a PCB layout program called Ares Proteus (from the UK, I think) but I find the interface very cumbersome to use. That being said, Traxmaker is decent, but not worth having to pay for Circuitmaker too. I am in my last year of Electronics Engineering, so I talked to literally hundreds of instructors and students, and I would say 95% of them like Protel better than CircuitMaker. Circuitmaker itself is only good for drawing schematics and simulating digital circuits.(although I am not sure how accurately it simulates race conditions, etc) The analog simulation is so unaccurate that I don't even use it anymore. Traxmaker, which is the included PCB layout program works relatively well, although the autorouting lacks something to be desired. I have Circuitmaker 2000, and do not really like much about it.
