A sophisticated PCB program providing high quality results for an affordable price.
This is the best printed circuit board design software focusing on layout and design. Very user friendly program. Definitely will get your moneys worth. Stable, cost effective, yet sophisticated and powerful. There are lots of upgrades and add ons available to meet all users needs. This is ready out of the box.
