“CircuitStudio is a perfect fit for element14 and its customers. With CircuitStudio, we are able to meet the needs of more professional design engineers who demand a simple yet powerful EDA tool with the features and functionalities to complete a complex PCB design”. More than 25 years of Altium R&D experience around PCB design tools built the foundation for a product that designers can pick up and design with when needed and we are looking forward to the launch of CircuitStudio together with element14.”ĭavid Shen, Group Chief Technology Officer for element14, added: “I am delighted we are able to announce this strategic partnership with Altium. “With CircuitStudio, we will deliver a product with a modern interface that will be easy to use yet powerful enough for professionals. More information and details can be found on “We are excited about the partnership with element14 and the benefits this will bring to PCB designers,” said Altium CTO, Jason Hingston. While availability is planned for early 2015, both Altium and element14 will invite interested users to participate in the Beta process for the product. The benefits for the users will be based on straight-forward schematic capture and project management tools as well as a powerful PCB design engine that supports 3D PCB editing. So I'd say that this is not the cleanest way to make the PCBs in general, but it looks OK for my project (a prototyping board).CircuitStudio will provide users with an interface that will make it easy for the user to get up to speed but at the same time deliver a set of functionality powerful enough for professional use. I tried different setting and I found that if I press TAB during manual routing I can choose "Ignore obstacles" mode which made me possible to connect the pins (I will just ignore the errors I will definitely get during DRC): After that I can press Ctrl-C and add the component easyĪctually this was described in the gray box in the upper left corner of the screen.Press Ctrl-C (I can use context menu as well).I find the way PCB editor doing the Copy-Paste: The second problem is that I can not multiply pads and components: Ctrl-C -> Ctrl-V is not working. I can add components, pads - but I can't add traces (I can start the trace but I can not go to another pad - which is reasonable as there is no net created in schematic). I'd like to make a PCB but I don't really need a schematic for it (it is just a prototyping board).
