DipTrace

autodeskguest

Does anyone have some experience with DipTrace?

 

Now that Eagle became a subscription service, from our point of

view it's dead. While the last version we have is still running fine,

obviously we'd like to explore other moderately priced commercial

quality options for the future. We don't do Windows and don't want to

run Wine either which severely limits our choices.

 

One possibility would be DipTrace, which on the surface seems to do

everything that Eagle can do and it's pricetag is at the same league.

 

So I just wonder whether someone had some experience with it and could

compare it to Eagle, pros/cons, better at this, worse at that style?

 

Thanks,

 

Zoltan

    KiCad receives "some" funding from CERN, but most of the development is

    still done by volunteers when they can afford some free time from their

    life and real jobs. KiCad needs your donations to keep the pace of

    development up to users expectations. It is unlikely to ever keep up with

    Eagle until users start making meaningful contributions to KiCad. The cost

    of development by professional software engineers is about $60/hour. You

    can contribute here...

    If you use it, contribute, especially if you make a living with it.

     

    Thanks for the reminder.  I made an anonymous 480 CHF (essentially

    $480) to the project when Eagle was murdered.  I just made a 120 CHF

    contribution and put an entry in my phone calendar to remind me to do

    that monthly.

     

    I challenge anyone who is pissed at what has been done to Eagle to do

    the same.
