DipTrace 2.0

DipTrace 2.0 is designed as an advanced and helpful PCB software application with 4 modules: PCB Layout with efficient auto-router, Schematic Capture, Component and Pattern Editors which allow you to design your own component libraries.

Additionally, this software has a very intuitive user interface and many innovative features. For instance, a schematic can be converted to a PCB with one mouse click. Advanced manual placement and auto-placement features allow to get acceptable placement in several minutes. The board designer can instantly renew the PCB from an updated version of schematic and keep all previous work without changes.

PCB and Schematic can be compared at any design stage to ensure they are identical as it has a powerful automatic router. It can route a single layer and multilayer circuit boards, and there is an option to auto-route a single layer board with jumper wires, if required. DipTrace also provides you with external auto-router support. Smart manual routing tools allow users to finalize the design and to get the results they want in a blink of an eye. Accurate shape-based copper pour system with different possible fill types and thermals can be used to make planes or to reduce manufacturing costs.

Furthermore, it has other features such as Electrical Rule Check (ERC), Design Rule Check (DRC) and Net Connectivity Check - the functions that check connections in Schematic by different rules (pin type, short circuit, etc.), the clearance between layout objects, which ensures board accuracy, and connectivity of all nets not depending on how they are connected (with traces, thermals or shapes). DipTrace modules allow you to exchange schematics, layouts and libraries with other EDA and CAD packages. DipTrace Schematic Capture and PCB Layout also support popular netlist formats and spice. Output formats are DXF, Gerber, Drill and G-code. Standard libraries include 50.000+ components.

To have more information, you are advised to have a look at the following features!

Major Features:

1. Easy to learn user interface
2. Smart placement and auto-placement features: After converting Schematic to PCB layout, place board outline and arrange components. Then use "placement by list" for chips/connectors and auto-placement for other components to get acceptable result in a few minutes and start routing.
3. Easy to use manual and powerful automatic routing
4. Shape-based copper pour : Powerful copper pour system can help to reduce your manufacturing costs by minimizing the amount of etching solution required. To use it, all you have to do is insert a copper area on your board in the PCB Layout program and any pad or trace inside the selected area will be automatically surrounded with a gap of the desired size. Using copper pour you can also create planes and connect them to pads and vias (different thermal types are supported).
5. Advanced Verification Features
6. Spice Support: Using DipTrace Schematic or Component Editor specify spice settings or attach models to the components. Then export .cir net-list of your Schematic to LT Spice or another simulation software to verify how it works.
7. Import/Export Features: Package modules allow you to exchange schematics, layouts and libraries with other EDA and CAD packages. DipTrace Schematic Capture and PCB Layout also support Accel, Allegro, Mentor, PADS, P-CAD, Protel and Tango netlist formats.
8. Manufacturing output formats
9. Producing PCBs using milling method: DipTrace allows you to export edge polylines to DXF. The DXF files can be converted to G-code with  Ace Converter (it's free). Before edge exporting the DRC function of pcb layout program checks the design and shows possible problems if exist.
10. Standard component libraries: DipTrace package includes component and pattern libraries which contain 50.000+ components from different manufacturers.
11. Creation of your own libraries: Component and Pattern Editors allow to design your own symbols and patterns. To create complete components simply connect them together using Component Editor.
