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

GerbView is a software application primarily designed for viewing, printing, and converting PCB design files, particularly Gerber and ODB++ formats. It offers a comprehensive set of features for visualizing, analyzing, and manipulating these files, making it a valuable tool for PCB designers and manufacturers. GerbView allows users to open and display Gerber (RS-274D and RS-274X), ODB++, Excellon, PDF, DXF, and HPGL/2 files. Both RS-274D and RS-274X Gerber formats are supported, and you can use GerbView to convert your older Gerber files to the new RS-274X extended format. GerbView includes a comparison tool to highlight differences between design revisions, aiding in version control and quality assurance.

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.
