The future of Eagle

Former Member

This is a question aimed purely at CadSoft.

 

In three months time, my licence of Altium Designer will expire.

It is very expensive software (for a small business) so I am approaching a crunch-time to direct my customer to either an Eagle or Altium solution.

 

To this end, I'd like to know from the CadSoft staff, just what new features are coming ?

    Hi Bob,

     

    Unfortunately, due to the evils of the marketing department there's not

    much I'm at liberty to say yet. What I can tell you is that our new

    version is more than three months out before it can be released, and we

    are making some big changes to EAGLE, however I can't say anything about

    them.

     

    I think the most effective question in this case would be to ask what

    are your customers needs? Does he/she make full use of Altium or find

    that there are a lot of features that they don't use?

     

    Based on the answers to those two questions I think we can arrive at the

    proper course of action.

     

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

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    I hope that we'll get a hierarchical sheet structure this time. That

    would push Eagle into the world of professional CAD. It was on the "Dear

    Santa" list for the last two major releases but got the ax every time.
