 CadSoft Eagle Professional v5.9.0

 
AGLE (Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor) is an ECAD program produced by Cadsoft in 
 
Germany (American marketing division: Cadsoft USA). It is very commonly used by private 
 
electronics enthusiasts, because there is a very usable free demo version for nonprofit use and 
 
is available in English and German. Cadsoft has released versions for Microsoft Windows, Linux, 
 
and Mac OS X. EAGLE provides a schematic editor, for designing circuit diagrams and a tightly 
 
integrated PCB layout editor, which automatically starts off with all of the components required 
 
by the schematic. Components are manually arranged on the board, with the help of coloured 
 
lines showing the eventual connections between pins that are required by the schematic, to aid 
 
in finding a placement that will allow the most efficient track layout.
 
It also provides a good autorouter, which once the components have been placed will attempt to 
 
automatically find an optimal track layout to make the electrical connections. It does not always 
 
manage to find a way of routing all the signals, although it permits manual routing of critical 
 
paths such as power and high frequency lines before letting the autorouter handle the other 
 
connections.
 
EAGLE is very popular with hobbyists because the free demo is able to create usable PCBs. (Free 
 
ECADs from some companies are crippled so that they won't save or won't print.) The only 
 
limitations of boards made with the EAGLE demo are: 2 copper layers; a maximum size of 
 
80mm x 100mm ( Eurocard)(~3in x ~4in). The demo version of the schematic editor module 
 
can only create single-sheet schematics.
 
The licensing structure for the commercial version is very flexible. In order to use the demo 
 
version to make commercial products, it must be licensed for $49 USD. If more is needed, it is 
 
also possible to license the required extra modules (schematic capture, layout, autorouter) 
 
separately and simply purchase more if needs change.
