From Novarm:
DipTrace is an advanced PCB design software application that consists of 4 modules: PCB Layout with efficient auto-router and auto-placer, Schematic Capture, Component and Pattern Editors that allow you to design your own component libraries. DipTrace has a powerful automatic router, superior to many routers included in other PCB layout packages. It can route a single layer and multilayer circuit boards, and there is an option to autoroute a single layer board with jumper wires, if required. DipTrace also provides you with external autorouter support. Smart manual routing tools allow users to finalize the design and to get the results they want in a blink of an eye. There are number of verification features, that allows you to control accuracy of your project. DipTrace modules allow you to exchange schematics, layouts and libraries with other EDA and CAD packages. Output formats are DXF, Gerber, Drill and G-code. Standard libraries contain 70,000+ components. Version 2.0 enhanced design manager, adds hierarchical schematic, features Arc traces.
What's new in this version: - Design manager - Hierarchical schematic - Fanout - Manual routing improved - Arc traces - many other new features - 8000+ new components

"Pure GARBAGE"
Version: DipTrace 2.0
Pros
Well, at least its cheap.
Cons
Poor user interface, poor database management, lack of continuity in commands between program elements, poor everything. It just plain sucks. I would not bet my future on the output of this pile of CAD poop....
Summary
The user interface is crowded, the component creation tools are juvenile, the footprint tool is ridiculous, simple commands (like rotation of objects) are totally different in each tool, resolution is poor, libraries are laughable, most design elements violate IPC, the whole program is a disjointed jumble of unrelated elements that barely functions.
It is inexpensive and it shows in it poor quality... -
"EZ & Fast - Can't beat the price"
Version: DipTrace 2.0
Pros
- Intuitive:just start designing -Fast:Schematic layouts, custom components and complete PCBs in minutes.
Cons
There are minor annoyances, at times it's difficult to select traces if they are completely under components.
Summary
This software is unbelievable for free. I downloaded it to make a quick and simple PCB. Then I made a slightly more complicated PCB. Now I'm using all aspects of it, the schematic editor, component editor and of course the PCB editor.
Never once have I resorted to the help, everything is intuitive enough that it can be figured out on the fly, just start designing!
It's simple to create customer libraries so it will never be out of date. I'm pleased to report that my custom libraries were preserved when I upgraded from 1.5 to 2.0.
I've had umpteen PCB designs fabricated at a PCB shop by emailing the gerber and drill files generated by this software and haven't had any issues whatsoever from design to final product. I really can't say enough about Diptrace, try it.
Thank you Novarm!
