After collecting and analyzing of sent to us users' opinions about this program it takes our editors award with a rate "5". This means that this program is popular and was found as convenient and useful.
DipTrace is an advanced PCB design software application that consists of 4 modules: PCB Layout with high-class auto-router and 3D PCB Preview, Schematic Capture, Component and Pattern Editors that allow you to design your own component libraries. Besides being very simple to learn, this software has a very intuitive user interface and many innovative features. For instance, a schematic can be converted to a PCB with one mouse click. Advanced manual placement and auto-placement features allow to get acceptable placement in several minutes. The board designer can instantly renew the PCB from an updated version of schematic and keep all previous work without changes. PCB and Schematic can be compared at any design stage to ensure they are identical. Hierarchical and multi-sheet schematics are supported. DipTrace has a powerful automatic router. It can route a single layer and multilayer circuit boards, and there is an option to autoroute a single layer board with jumper wires, if required. DipTrace also provides you with external autorouter support. Smart manual routing tools allow users to finalize the design and to get the results they want in a blink of an eye. Accurate shape-based copper pour system with different possible fill types and thermals is available. Other important features are Electrical Rule Check (ERC), Design Rule Check (DRC) and Net Connectivity Check - the functions that check connections in Schematic by different rules (pin type, short circuit, etc.), the clearance between layout objects, which ensures board accuracy, and connectivity of all nets not depending on how they are connected (with traces, thermals or shapes). DipTrace modules allow you to exchange schematics, layouts and libraries with other EDA and CAD packages. DipTrace Schematic Capture and PCB Layout also support popular netlist formats and spice. Output formats are DXF, Gerber, Drill and G-code. Standard libraries include 100.000+ components.

Version: 2.0.07
DipTrace is one of the best I have tried so far for electronic schematics. I looked for the symbol of an OPAMP but could not find it in the Discrete (Schematic Only).I however found 741 which is what I wanted anyway.
I found DipTrace extremely easy to learn and use.I have already recommended it to some of the professionals in the line.I am contemplating on buying a user license.

At first look is just fine but if you want my opinion I have to use it for a while and after that I will tell you.
By the way there are any functions or options disabled in the free version I download?

I haven't done much with the software for now, I plan to use it a little later. My first impression is very good, I really appreciated having most components in the library already, along with their PCB pattern. However I had to draw a component with a lot of pins, I would have appreciated a better interface for entering all the values. Seems a very good software.

Cute, looks nice, too bad it does not support mentor's PCB format I really need.

Version: 1.50
Well, this program seems to be the best between the few that I have downloaded.. I jump right in and did a PCB drawing from my schematic that I had. (Schematic was done using sPlan which has no output to PCB and I'm use to sPlan so far). What I need to learn are the different pins or displays for resistors and capacitors that are used. But as far as making a drawing and having it auto trace was awesome. Thats a main plus. I will try to make or draw my schematic on your software and use the link to make PCB.
Thanks for a great program to try..

Version: 1.50I have not gone through an entire board generation from schematic capture to artworks, but so far the commands I've used seem to work, and are intuitive.

Version: 1.50I just downloaded your software and It looks great. I opened schematic editor and try to do some simple project and I was impressed. I need more time to get experience and give you more comments. It is good policy to give possibility to familiar with software as freeware because after that people will buy it with pleasure.
Thanks
