Hi all,

 

Not sure if has been discussed here already (I did look) but Altium have

decided to join the FREE pcb design bandwagon in direct competition to

Eagle PCB.

 

There's a thread over at the EEVblog, goto page 8 and you'll see Dave

has posted a good amount of detail.

 

I actually think this is good news for Eagle PCB users as hopefully

CadSoft will respond and maybe push harder at bringing some long wanted

functionality to Eagle. Can we look forward to big changes to Eagle in

Version 8......?

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting this, we're always pushing as hard as we can. You

won't have to wait for V8, we're going to be making some improvements to

V7 now.

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

Hi Jorge,

Some lone awaiting functions like 3D as import and export.

it is hard to explain the desinger why i can't export step or an other

3D format and import his 3D -Model of the device.
