Autocad Pcb Layout
The capability is there so you can review gerber files generated by Allegro and for design reuse. I may have used it to avoid re-laying out a P-CAD archive of designs to make FAA re-cert easier. Allegro is limited by the Gerber 274x format it is willing to accept. Autodesk Viewer is a free online viewer for 2D and 3D designs including AutoCAD DWG, DXF, Revit RVT and Inventor IPT, as well as STEP, SolidWorks, CATIA and others.
Software Overview
Main Features
- Cross-platform PCB design program
- Design tools for layout of PCB electronic components
- User Language Program (ULP) functionality enables custom features
- Export PCB design to Gerber format
Autodesk EAGLE is a CAD application used to design the layout of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). EAGLE stands for “Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor.” It is available for Windows, OS X, and Linux. Autodesk EAGLE was formerly known as CadSoft EAGLE.
EAGLE allows you to create the layout of electrical wires, central processors, and other electronic components on your PCB. The application offers Schematic Editor, Layout Editor, Library Editor, and Autorouter modules to help you design your PCB. You can use these modules to modify different elements of your PCB, such as layers, reference points, and object properties. The program includes other features such as self defined commands, simulation, and data import and export functionality.
EAGLE also provides User Language Program (ULP) functionality. ULPs are programs that EAGLE can execute to modify internal data, instruction sequences, and produce data. They are similar to plugins, as they add user-modified functions to EAGLE. ULPs use the .ULP file extension and are available for download on the Autodesk EAGLE website.
Autodesk EAGLE is a useful PCB CAD application. It provides tools to design your PCB and supports ULP functionality. If you are a professional or just a hobbyist, you will most likely find Autodesk EAGLE up to the task.
