You can download DipTrace Free free here. DipTrace is a properly good PCB design software that has lots of features to offer. The Getting Started prompt features links to a tutorial and a guided video tour. The application features an intuitive interface. It has a very comprehensive library of parts. I am designing a new power supply using it.

As mentioned above, DipTrace Free is meant for non-profit use only and is limited to 300 pins.ĭipTrace Free is a properly good PCB design software that features an intuitive interface and can be used for non-profit purposes for free.ĭipTrace is available for 32 and 64-bit Windows editions it is also available for Mac OS X. If DipTrace is everything you said so far in the forums, I think we could actually speed up some projects and cut costs after doing the migration. Found a nice free PCB software easy to use and is limeted to 300 nodes for lite version.

Several handy features are put at your disposal: manual routing tools, shape-based autorouter and auto-placer, schematic capture with multi-level hierarchy, libraries with lots of parts, component and pattern editors, import and export, 3D preview, advanced verification features, Spice support, and more. From the Tools menu in the upper left hand corner you can switch to the PCB Layout, Component Editor, or Pattern Editor. Select Schematic Capture and you will be presented with a Getting Started prompt that lists links to a tutorial, guided video tour, DipTrace forum, and more. The Launcher lists the following: Schematic Capture, PCB Layout, Component Editor, and Pattern Editor. Click through the screens said wizard presents onscreen and moments later you will be done with the installation process.įrom the DipTrace Launcher you can easily access all the tools this application has to offer. Download the installer, run it, and a setup wizard will show up.

The DipTrace Free installer is close to 60MB in size – and so are the installers for the full version (32 as well as 64-bit edition) and for the Mac OS X version. No matter which edition you go for, you will enjoy a feature rich PCB design software application that grants access to all its functionality via an intuitive interface. But if you hand Word an EMF file, it does a great job of placing it.There are two DipTrace editions to choose from: a full-featured DipTrace edition for Windows and Mac OS X and a freeware edition that comes with all programs and all libraries, but is limited to 300 pins and is meant for non-profit use only. Click through the screens said wizard presents onscreen and moments later you will be done with the installation process. If needed, you can then do further cropping of the EMF in Word. The DipTrace Free installer is close to 60MB in size and so are the installers for the full version (32 as well as 64-bit edition) and for the Mac OS X version. Presto-a crystal clear image at any resolution. But if you are writing a report and need just a small part of the circuit, just zoom to the area of interest, right click and selected 'copy display as EMF' and then paste into Word.

PDF is a great way to export a page or the entire schematic. Most rely on libraries for EMF to SVG conversion, and the SVG compatibility problem runs deep because the SVG is incredibly rich.Įither way, the ability to export a vector format to the clipboard would make Diptrace a contender for anyone that needs to publish schematics as part of technical documents. SVG would be nice too (probably even better), but converting from EMF to SVG is a lot code and a large task, and windows doesn't speak SVG-you'd need to start with EMF no matter what. Second, drawing an on-screen display to a metafile and moving it to the clipboard is trivial in windows-about 50 lines of code.

Very important when printing a technical doc with part of a schematic. The benefit of EMF is twofold: First, it's a vector format, and no matter how much you zoom, the drawing stays sharp. And from there, you can paste it directly into Word, Adobe Illustrator, etc.

This would put the visible part of the schematic onto the clipboard in a vector format. It would be very helpful if the schematic tool had an option to 'copy display as Enhanced Meta File (EMF)'.
