A feature comparing a PCB to a schematic helps detect possible design mistakes and correct them before prototyping.



Another important feature is Design Rule Check (DRC) - the function that checks the clearance between design objects, minimum size of tracks and drills, which ensures board accuracy. Smart manual routing tools allow users to finalize the design and to get the results they want in a blink of an eye.Īccurate shape-based copper pour system with different possible fill types and thermals can be placed to plane layer and manufacturing costs can be reduced by minimizing the amount of etching solution. It can route a single layer (bottom side) and multilayer circuit boards, and there is an option to autoroute a single layer board with jumper wires, if required. DipTrace has a high quality automatic router, superior to many routers included in other PCB layout packages. The board designer can instantly renew the PCB from an updated version of schematic and keep existing placement, routed traces, board outline, mounting holes and other work. Besides being very simple to learn, which is quite an accomplishment for an engineering software application, the software has a very intuitive user interface and many innovative features.įor instance, a schematic can be converted to a PCB with one mouse click. LibraryĢ.DipTrace is an advanced PCB design software application that comes with PCB Layout module, powerful auto-router, Schematic Capture and Component/Pattern editors to design your own component libraries. Also, basic SMD footprints (resistors, capacitors, inductors) were optimized for reflow soldering - which means smaller pads and occupied PCB space - they are in SMD library.Ĭomponents provided without any warranty, althought most of them were used in real designs. Some components here are missed from DipTrace standard libraries (or at least were missed prior to DipTrace 3.0), some are awkwardly named in those libraries.
