![]() ![]() ![]() User expectations often extend beyond the operation of PCB software into a wider “desktop computing” environment. Nowadays we all know that the landscape has changed. ![]() I think it’s important to put some context around the issue here.īack in the day, there were no user interface standards and PCB tool vendors had literally a blank canvas to work with. You’ve picked a good topic with this “ease of use” theme.Īs someone who gets asked about this point virtually every day of my working life. PCB123 – (Proprietary to Sunstone Circuits) Let me know if I’m missing anyone and I’ll add them to the list.Įlectronics Workbench – National Instruments In the mean time, here is a list of the layout tools I know about. I’m collecting data on as many layout tools as I can find and will post some basic information on the website next week sometime. So I decided it is time to do an updated list of the PCB layout tools on the market today. All of these tools were acquired by other EDA companies and have evolved over the years to the point that they are not necessarily entry level tools they once were. Traditionally tools such as PADs, OrCAD and Tango were the the choice for those looking for inexpensive layout tools. But asking the question is a good way to find out about some of the products we don’t often hear about.
