In component editing, values can be added or copied to all packages in the component by click of button instead of having to add them by hand to each packageġ5. When pasting copied design data, new Cancel Move option allows it to be dropped in original position (same position it was when you copied the data)ġ4. Add Component can now return to the dialog on Escape (switchable by option on Preferences)ġ3. Reports - Component List - new column type 'Text' for inserting text strings into reportġ2. Change Component shows both schematic and PCB previewsġ1. project view has Rename and Duplicate functions to help manage sheets in projectġ0. value position on a component can display the part (component) description fieldĩ. new LPKF menu option (simply goes to same place as Manufacturing Plots in this release)Ĩ. Grids on context menu when something selected in designħ. Grids - Control G - Grid Snap menu is now proper menu now has 'Grids' option at bottomĥ. Values in component edit are now a tab on properties dialog (was separate dialog)Ĥ. Add Component - Cancel Mode on context menuģ. New 3D Menu, 3D Viewer (screenshot above) and 3D packages LibraryĢ. Revision History Version 2.0 new additions include:ġ. It may also be installed on school/university networks without any cost or complicated paperwork. A special educational library including all the common educational parts is also available on the Downloads tab.ĭesignSpark PCB can be used for personal or commercial projects without any charge. Sophisticated new part creation wizards make it easy to design new parts from scratch or by using standard symbols and footprints. See the Eagle import tutorial for further information.Ī comprehensive standard parts library is supplied which can be amended, copied, and added to as required.

Bill of materials reports can also be generated at any time.ĭesignSpark PCB also supports the importing of Eagle design files and libraries. Automatic placement and auto-routing are fully suported.Ĭompleted designs can be printed, exported as image or PDf file, and extended gerber outputs allow the designer to choose who will manufacture their board (or to use a third party tool such as CopperCAM for isolation routing).

It is fully compatible with the PICAXE Circuit Creator system.įree from practical constraints on board size, pin counts, layers and output types, DesignSpark PCB can be used for schematic capture, PCB layout and generating manufacturing files. DesignSpark PCB is a completely free Windows software application for generating PCBs.
