This piece of software is great utility for everyone who draws board layouts, either for PCB, Perfboard or Stripboard. It has simple yet very effective interface which makes job much easier.
Placing a component on board takes only 2-3 mouse clicks! You need to click on source and destination hole and program will place component between them.
Placing polarized components is the same, but then you need to take care about hole order because program takes source hole for positive and destination hole for negative side. It's similar with IC: pin 1 goes in source hole and last pin goes to destination hole.
When working with PCB layouts you can set width of each trace and solder pad! Also, there's "Print PnP" which gives printout ready for transfer on blank board (laser printer required).
Current version supports these components:
· Text
· Solder Pad
· Trace
· Jumper
· Resistor
· Capacitor
· Diode
· LED
· Electrolyte
· Transistor
· DIL IC
· SIL IC
· Trimmer
