Description

DipTrace is a professional PCB design suite from Novarm Ltd, in continuous development since 2004 and used by over 30,000 engineers across 50+ countries. Companies in aerospace, defense, medical devices, and industrial electronics rely on it for production work. The suite covers the full design flow in one environment. Schematic Capture handles multi-sheet hierarchical projects with electrical rule check, a Digital SPICE Simulator for analog and digital circuits, and cross-selection with the board. PCB Layout provides interactive push-and-shove editing, where moving or rotating a placed component displaces neighbouring traces and vias as you work, and dragged traces route themselves around pads, keepouts, and existing copper. Designers choose whether design rules are enforced at all times or violations are permitted deliberately. High-speed work is supported through differential pair routing, length matching, layer stackup management, and a PCB calculator. Manufacturing output covers Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, NC Drill, and STEP for mechanical CAD. Version 5.3 introduced a native XML project format that mirrors the binary format feature for feature, making designs practical to keep under Git or another version control system. Component sourcing runs through a database-powered search with Mouser integration and SnapEDA access to more than 10 million parts. Projects import from Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, EasyEDA Pro, Pulsonix, and PADS. DipTrace runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Licensing is perpetual — bought once, with no subscription or maintenance fees — across five editions starting at $75. Technical support is provided to every user, including those on the free edition.

Description

Ultiboard is a powerful software solution for designing and laying out printed circuit boards (PCBs), which works hand-in-hand with Multisim to streamline the development of PCB prototypes. The software provides a user-friendly environment for efficient PCB design layout and routing, allowing for customization to suit individual needs. Its versatile tools enable precise manual placement of components and copper, which is essential for defining critical elements of the board. Additionally, the automated features facilitate a faster design process. Users will find that the advanced spreadsheet view, along with various toolboxes and design wizards, simplifies the management and definition of board layouts. The integration with Multisim ensures easy schematic transfers to PCBs, and the capability for forward and backward annotation supports effective design iteration management. Furthermore, Ultiboard allows for the straightforward export of industry-standard file formats like Gerber and DXF, ensuring a seamless transition from schematic creation to layout finalization. This comprehensive approach not only emphasizes data and automation but also supports research and validation, underlining our commitment to helping engineers create innovative solutions for the future. Ultimately, Ultiboard empowers users to bring their electronic designs to life with confidence and efficiency.
