Altium Circuit Studio Development???

engineereddownunder

My license for Circuit Studio has just come up for renewal, and after just double checking there has been next to no activity in the development world around Circuit Studio - is it worth renewing the license or is this product a dead duck? The last version release was in May last year with apologies for how little it contained and promises of a more major release later in the year - which never came, and which has been followed up by silence (as far as I can tell) from Altium... Thoughts? Anyone seen a recent roadmap for this software? I actually really like the software but don't want to pour money into something that is not being actively developed.

  • Also bumping the thread...

     

    I am one of the many Eagle users who jumped ship when Eagle was taken over by Autocad and they started their new license model. It's not only cost, I don't accept depending on other people's good wil to be able to use my tools, and to access my own work of the past.

     

    So, during the last 2 weeks I evaluated the CS trial, and like what I see. My decision now is, buy or not. For that it would be helpful to know if Altium is committed to maintain a mid level product that fulfills the requirements and fits into the budget of customers somewhere between advanced hobbyist, small business, freelancer, etc. So, Altium and Element14: a fact - based word of encouragement would be highly appreciated.

    In terms of fulfilling the requirement and fitting into the budget, yes CS is a good product, but all that's come from Altium over many months has been a deafening silence.  At Jay says, Peter's departure has more or less marked the end of support for CS.  While it would be the work of a moment for somebody at E14 or Altium to post at least a few words of encouragement, there's been nothing.

    With Autodesk's announcement & video showing Fusion360 & Eagle integration (bloody hell it looks good seeing Eagle with a ribbon)......so surely, but surely Altium will step up the process of developing CS.

     

    Come on Altium......as others have said the "deafening silence" is too much!
