Screen Examples

DipTrace PCB Layout program allows you to design circuit boards using auto-placer, powerful automatic and easy-to-use manual routing.

Schematic program provides wide range of tools to create single- and multi-sheet circuits. Multilevel hierarchy is supported.

Routing 8-layer PCB (4 signal layers) with integrated Shape-Based Autorouter.

3D PCB Preview feature allows to preview your board before production. 2500+ package 3D models are supplied with the program.

You can use white or black background color scheme in all package programs, or the colors can be customized as you like.

DRC function checks the clearance between design objects, minimum size of traces, and drills. Errors are displayed graphically and you can fix them step-by-step and rerun the DRC in one click after any corrections were made.

ERC feature of Schematic allows you to check if all pins are connected correctly. You can setup the electrical rules with ease by selecting appropriate cells on the grid of setup dialog box.

DipTrace has powerful shape-based copper pour feature with different types of filling and thermals. Thermal settings can be also different for SMD pads or you can change them for any pad separately. Number of copper pour areas is not limited on per-layer basis.

DipTrace allows you to autoroute single-layer (bottom side) circuit boards with jumper wires, if required.

With DipTrace you can produce the PCBs using milling method. The edge is created automatically from your PCB and is saved to DXF. Use ACE Converter to produce G-code from the DXF file.

With Pattern Editor you can design complex footprints in a few clicks using predefined templates.

Smart tools of Component Editor allows you to develop single- and multi-part components with ease.
