Design rule check with in-depth detailing and net connectivity verification procedures are available. The board can be previewed in 3D and exported to STEP format for mechanical CAD modeling. DRC also checks length and phase tolerances for differential pairs and controls signal synchronization for nets and buses (including layer stackup and bonding wire induced signal delays). When routing with real-time DRC, the program reports errors on the fly before actually making them.

Design requirements are defined by net classes, class-to-class rules, and detailed settings by object types for each class or layer. DipTrace Schematic has ERC verification and Spice export for external simulation.Įngineering tool for board design with smart manual routing, differential pairs, length-matching tools, shape-based autorouter, advanced verification, layer stackup manager, and wide import/export capabilities. Cross-module management ensures that principal circuits can be easily converted into a PCB, back-annotated, or imported/exported from/to other EDA software, CAD formats and net-lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.Screenshot of schematic capture in DipTrace v3 (2016)Īdvanced circuit design tool with support of multi-sheet and multi-level hierarchical schematics that delivers a number of features for visual and logical pin connections. Prices for DipTrace are quite reasonable, and if it were as popular as Eagle, then I would probably choose DipTrace to study and buy the full version - not so expensive. Therefore, when choosing a PCB design system, I looked primarily at popularity, chose Eagle and have no regrets. However, we are far from indifferent to how much the tool that we are going to use will be in demand. It is clear that we in Russia or in Ukraine (for the time being) don't care about anything - even Proteus, even PCAD, even though Altium and use it for health, but in the bourgeoisie it is somehow not accepted. That is why Eagle reigns supreme on the Internet.

Now compare with DipTrace - use it for free for only 30 days, or buy. You can use the free Eagle as much as you want, and the restrictions are very mild, completely satisfying the radio amateur in most cases - the size of the board is 10 cm by 8 cm, two layers, you can draw a diagram only on one sheet. In DipTrace is unable to generate all required documentation with a given templatesĮagle's free terms and DipTrace's free terms differ in favor of Eagle.
