It is a fairly low price package, as an example presently prices start at $70 for a license that allows 300 pins, two signal layers, no board size limit, has autorouting, etc, and this allows commercial use (the same limits as the free version but allows commercial use). This type of detail changes with time so it should be obtained from their website. So the price varies from zero on up depending on your needs. It is commercial but has free versions with fairly useful limits, and a graded price schedule so you can buy more capability if you need it, and easily add to it later without cost penalty. Or perhaps that expertise will develop here.įor those who don't know what DipTrace is, it is an Electronics CAD package that includes schematic capture and PC board layout. There is a DipTrace support forum, that is perhaps a better place for really deep technical questions. If you are interested in DipTrace, it is certainly best to search the web first but if you don't find an answer perhaps you can join in the discussion here and ask your questions. So, if you are using (or have used) DipTrace, please join in here and let us know how it is working for you (or not and why), and maybe answer questions from others who are considering it, or trying to learn it.

If you want to argue about what is the 'best' then open a new thread in the toxic area and have at it. So let's not get caught up in what is 'best' (which is undoubtedly some high end package we cannot afford at home), but instead in what's useful for our purposes. This thread is for people interested easy ways to design PC (printed circuit) boards, specifically using DipTrace software and submitting boards for low cost online PCB manufacture to places like It is NOT a thread for bashing or arguing about which is the 'best' Electronics CAD software, though comparisons of specific features might be useful to those trying to understand what DipTrace is good for, as well as it's limitations.
