Sneak peek: obstacle avoidance and walk around routing in EAGLE v8...

technolomaniac

Hi Folks --

 

Just a (very quick) sneak peek at obstacle avoidance and walk around routing, coming in the new EAGLE version 8!  To be sure, the ability to prevent shorts before they happen is critical to EAGLE users' productivity.  This new routing engine, coming in EAGLE v8, follows the design rules and will walk around objects, making you both more productive and less prone to costly errors.  What's more, it's fast!  This clip isn't sped up.  This isn't "follow me" 2.0.  This is a completely new engine with some of the best underlying algorithms in the industry. 

 

We would love to get feedback on what you need to be more productive in routing your PCBs.  Your feedback will help us prioritize our development and ensure we release new features in the right sequence (where possible).  To get the new router, subscribe today!  For $100/year, you'll get EAGLE v8 Standard edition, 4-layer commercial license and ensure you get the new router when it's available.

 

Best regards

    This is an old thing. Other tools have it build in as standard since many years.

    And we asked many years for this kind of router.

    And also more. Where is the button for impedance controlled routing? for bus routing?

    We not just have microcontrollers (like your shown example image), but also we have PCB with microprocessors and they have a complex bus structure.

     

     

    And the free version have not this router?

    After expiring the license period the Eagle will falling down to a toy, and then we can not use this router?

     

    It seems all of it grows more and more in a Desaster.

    One sentence here one sentence there, then all of us can not follow the concrete reasons or causes.

     

    Best Regards

    @Gerald ...Just one final point on this:  bus routing is coming.  As is better handling for DDR, length tuning, impedance control, etc.  We've only had the product for 6 months so you'll have to bare with us as we have our work cut out for us.  image  These are not trivial to build (or I suspect Cadsoft would have built them) but we are committed to building them whilst maintaining a price point consistent with EAGLE in the process. 

     

    Most of what you are asking for requires a mix of routing and rules - including real-time DRC checking - both of which need some work in EAGLE to make this a reality.  We are working our way thru these items and will continue to deliver features around routing for quite some time.
