CIDess

Pretty much any electronic device uses a printed circuit board, and there are plenty of software solutions out there that can help you design PCB layouts and prepare them for printing.

CIDess is a specialized application that enables you to create PCBs from scratch using a varied array of tools, and it offers multiple export options to help you prepare your product for manufacturing.

CIDess is designed to be usable by professional and novice electronic technicians, and the relatively simple interface layout certainly helps in this regard. You can get started pretty easily once you set the board’s dimensions.

There are numerous PCB components readily available, and they can be inserted with just a couple of mouse clicks. The program even allows you to preview these components from multiple angles.

Projects can be saved as CID files and processed again at a later date, and the application also enables you to create your own component types, which are saved as CIT files.

Once you have completed your PCB design, you can export the projects to GIF or BMP, and you can also specify which components should be included from the export window.

CIDess also allows you to export data to 3DG and STL, create HTML documentation or print the PCB, layout or circuit information directly.

Before getting started with the program, it might be a good idea to check out the user manual, as it does a great job of explaining the available features. Naturally, some specialized knowledge is required to understand how a PCB needs to be designed.

Overall, CIDess is a useful software solution for electronic technicians who wish to create printed circuit boards for their products. It is quite easy to use, and it provides you with comprehensive documentation.
