About

DipTrace is professional EDA software for schematic capture and PCB layout by Novarm Ltd, used by over 30,000 engineers in 50+ countries in aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial electronics. The PCB editor features interactive push-and-shove editing: moving a component on a routed board pushes surrounding traces and vias aside in real time, and an edited trace walks around pads and keepouts. Also included: shape-based autorouter, real-time DRC, differential pairs, length matching, 3D preview with STEP export, via stitching, panelizing, IPC-7351 pattern generator. The schematic editor supports hierarchical designs, ERC, and a Digital SPICE Simulator. DipTrace 5.3 adds a native XML project format suitable for version control, component search with Mouser integration, and SnapEDA access to 10M+ parts. Imports Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, PADS. Exports Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, STEP. Windows, macOS, Linux. Perpetual license from $75, no subscription.

About

ExpressPCB is excited to introduce several new enhancements to our ExpressPCB Plus software! With the addition of Schematic Link and Netlist Validation tools to Plus, we provide peace of mind in the validation of your design from schematic to layout prior to manufacturing. Provides the ability to link the schematic netlist in ExpressSCH to the PCB layout in ExpressPCB Plus. Added a “Net Connection” tool to allow users to highlight connected pads in a net from the linked schematic to assist in board layout. Provides validation of the full ExpressPCB Plus layout for equivalence to the ExpressSCH schematic netlist. Provides error reporting for missing or additional components, pins, connections, or other design elements. Allows users to highlight errors, with option to zoom to location. Allows users to correct errors, and validate edits in one easy tool. Error reporting export capability in Microsoft Excel format.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to learn Intuitive interface Core functions covered Schematic capture PCB layout Component design Footprint design All within one suite, common look and feel. Good performance Import of various design formats including Eagle and Kincaid Cost effective, scalable buy once licensing options

Cons

  • Simulation is a secondary function, one I have never been prepared for make the investment of time in as it is a link to a third party solution Push-pull routing always seems to be on its way, but doesn’t ever seem to appear Pad design seems to also be a work in progress.
