Altium Circuit Studio Development???

engineereddownunder
engineereddownunder over 7 years ago

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.

    Only because I just had lunch with a friend today that's looking to move off PADS and thought CS might be a good fit and was asking me questions... IMHO Altium is shooting themselves in the foot (feet…

    So I have been pushing for some more information from element14 and Altium and got a reply which sounds promising (from element14 APAC Technical): There's definitely a major CircuitStudio version coming…

    For those whose maintenance has expired, can we just buy a new maintenance subscription to get the update? If so, can we wait until after the release? (Experience so far with CircuitStudio would suggest it could be more than 12 months until the full release)

    Hi Kate,

     

    We currently do not enforce any catch up or similar fees so it's fine for you to wait until the update is released. The beta is in full swing and is a big update so we're getting feedback and making changes. We don't want to rush this beta cycle, but timing-wise we're not expecting that sort of delay.

     

    Best regards,

    Does anybody here, who can share, have any idea information on when CircuitMaker Pro will be released? We've been waiting on a major update for a couple of years now. We've known about an update for several months at this point, and I am getting a bit anxious. Thanks!

    Unfortunately, I've gone to the dark side, and ponied up the bucks to take advantage of the great year-end Altium Designer offer they usually make. I used it for 20 years and have really missed it since retiring. Had some work come in that justifies the expenditure.

     

    This happened in mid-December, and I had occasion to talk to Jim Harrison. He commented that the new version of CircuitMaker Pro was in it's 3rd beta (at that time), but said it was definately underway. I think it's gonna happen this time. I'm curious to see what it's gonna be like.

    Hey guys. Take a look at what I've found out. Altium made an unlisted Youtube playlist last year with Altium CircuitMaker Pro tutorials. Last tutorial was uploaded in March. It seems that they will be revealing something soon. There are 11 tutorials and you can take a look at new UI and functions.

    Hello Kipras,

    Thanks for this.  Well done discovering it.  I've watched the videos.  It is very promising.  It seems to tidy several clumsy details with 1.5, as well as introducing clever new features.  Now, all we need to know is when and how much?  I hope it is soon and not too much.
