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
fabPlane is a desktop electronic design automation (EDA) workspace for creating and editing printed circuit boards with an AI agent. It bundles KiCad and works directly with existing KiCad project files, so users can open and continue working on .kicad_pro projects without importing or converting them. Designers can describe a board's purpose, sketch connections, or provide a reference, then use typed tools and review each proposed change as a diff before accepting or discarding it. After acceptance, fabPlane runs the autorouter and design-rule checks. The workflow also includes manufacturing checks, output generation, bills of materials, and purchase carts for supported fabrication houses and component distributors. fabPlane is free to download, with desktop builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It serves electronics and PCB designers, KiCad users, hardware teams, and open-hardware makers.
