For example, lets say you wanted to make a board that was 4ft long, with twenty LEDs on it, for under cabinet lighting. Its a pin/layers licensing scheme, not a board size scheme. Very useful when you need to create a part for something obscure.Īlso, their licensing is much more convenient for hobbyists. Plus, creating your own parts is by far the easiest of any of the programs. Personally, I found it much more intuitive than Eagle and KiCAD at least from the hobbyist perspective. For those that are looking for a PCB design package, I strongly encourage you to add DipTrace to your list of ones to try. I know that most of you likely are Eagle or KiCAD users but I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that there is a new version of DipTrace out.
