Does anyone have experince with NI/Mouser's MultiSim BLUE?

Instructorman

I just saw an ad for Mouser's NI based developemnt environemnt called MultiSIM BLUE.  It is billed as a schematic capture, board layout, simulation and BOM tool chain, and it is available for free.  The only caveat seems to be that the BOM links exclusively to Mouser products, but given the feature set they describe and the free price tag, I'm not sure limiting myself to Mouser as a vendor is a bad thing.

 

Before I download this software I thought I'd ask the E14 community if anyone has had experience with this tool chain, positive or negative.

  • I've had several colleagues that used the original Multisim, when it was still sold by Electronics Workbench. I've tried and seen it since then, but the latest info I've got is more than 6 years old. Back then, it was a PITA to work with.

    Simulation was kind of OK, but component management was hell, especially because device pinning info would disappear if you would move a component from the company database to your own database. But again, that was 6 years ago.
