2) DipTrace Trial – no limitations on signal layers and number of pins (full-featured 30- day trial).

I also gave DipTrace a try and it was the next best to Eagle in my view, but I still found myself gravitating back to Eagle. It had inherited all I disliked from EasyPC gaining nothing that made me want to persist with learning how to use it. I sometimes have to use an old DOS version of Boardmaker by Tsien and to me, even that has better logic than Orcad.īefore purchasing Eagle, I tried DesignSpark, but it's only merit for me was that it was free. There were glaring inconsistencies between the various schematic and pcb modules that drove me demented (delete in one module was the backspace key and in the other Ctrl+D - ridiculous) and in part eventually led to me leaving that job.Īt my new job I have been able to purchase a full copy of Eagle. I found it to be extremely frustrating in almost every single way imaginable.
I then got a new job and was provided with a copy of Cadence Orcad. This suited my design approach well and I never found it a hindrance. I simply kept my PCBs within the size limits and broke larger projects into modules. I used Eagle (lite) from then on, in preference to the copy of EasyPC. I then tried Eagle and for me it was much simpler to understand, it also had a Mac version that I could use at home. I was originally provided with a paid version of EasyPC which I found very user un-friendly and far from easy.
I've used Eagle for a number of years now.
