Ethan, it is a matter of using the tool, I could say wonders about
diptrace, but I do believe nothing will be compared with you getting the
tool and taking a look.
I don't see a Linux or Mac version, so it's a non-starter. I'm not
going to dork around with Wine to use an EDA tool; I'll just stick
with tools that work natively.
Next time, use kicad, diptrace or something
useful. Eagle sux.
I'm not going to defend Eagle, but I'm unfamiliar with
diptrace - what
makes it better? > I use Eagle because it works on any computer
I'm likely to be sitting...
I stand by that - Eagle works on Macs, Linux boxes and Windows boxes.
I don't have to worry about the platform in front of me - there's an
Eagle for each one.
I do believe in Diptrace. But KICAD is getting
better and better
everyday. More libraries and a very active development. Maybe you'll want to
take a look at it :)
I've heard of KICAD, but the last time I looked at it, it didn't look
polished enough for me to spend much time on it. Perhaps it's
advanced enough for a second look.
