News on the CircuitMaker Pro

pizutti

I'm not sure if anyone noticed it, I have two licenses for CircuitStudio, I have aquired it in less than a year ago (sptember to be more exact), and today I'm making a new installation on a new computer, the Pdouct Nanme in the licenses have changed from CircuitStudio to CircuitMaker Pro as you can see here:

  • It has been little over a year from comming soon announcement for CM pro. It has not been update to Circuit studio since late 2018. CM pro is to be continuation of CS. I wonder if somwhere in the higher decision making structures of Altium has been decision made to kill the project of CM Pro. For the Past year I can see strong change in Altium products heading. Mainly push to subscription based use of their products and sharp increase in prices of stand alone licenses. The absolute lack of  any information about the CM Pro project from the Altiums mouth leaves a lot of room for speculation. It would be nice if somebody cleared the air with the official statement.

    I'll comment since no-one else has : )

    It's been almost three and a half years since the last release, any perceived promises or expectations have come and gone. Even if CM Pro version 1.0 was released today, would you potentially be happy waiting another three and a half years for release 1.1? That would be 2025..

    At this rate I would suggest migrating to KiCad................this has been an epic waste ot time, money and lost productivity. Altium still keeps trying to sell me a full blown version of Altium feels like a bait and switch scheme.

    KiCad - was quite primitive but deserves an occasional look.

     

    AD is a hard working day to day professional tool.  CS (and hopefully CM-Pro) are close (ok, distant in some areas) siblings.  This gap hopefully will close a bit more with CM-Pro.

     

    But, don't buy AD if CM-Pro fills your needs and budget.

     

    CS doesn't become a waste of anything until the day comes when you cannot create a new job or open an old one.

     

    Until then, enjoy it and in my opinion, support it.

     

    Altium may come to realize that the market for CM-Pro is definitely there and can grow.

     

    This market sows the seeds for future, professional/corporate purchases of many seats of AD ... since that's what you've learned.

     

    Are you listening, Altium ??

     

    ** many years of PADS, Allegro/Cadence and finally, AD and now retired, need a low cost CM-Pro **
