Latest CadSoft EAGLE Update Brings Increased Interoperability and Enhanced Modelling
LONDON, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
v6.4 of the award-winning PCB design software now available for download
CadSoft Computer GmbH, a part of global electronics distributor Premier Farnell, has
today revealed a series of new interoperability features and improved design simulation
and modelling to further extend the appeal of its award-winning and easy-to-use EAGLE PCB
software [http://uk.farnell.com/eagle?CMP=PRR-EUR-13-0011 ] for professional board design.
The new features focus on design simulation and modelling and additions include an
LT-Spice connection, allowing engineers to import and simulate LT-Spice schematics into
EAGLE
[http://www.element14.com/community/community/knode/cad_tools?view=overview&ICID=element14_knode_cadtools_menubar?CMP=PRR-EUR-13-0011 ]
and vice versa. Drawings from P-CAD, Altium
and Protel can also now be imported via the intermediate format ACCEL ASCII to enhance
interoperability and flexibility.
Limor Fried, AKA Lady Ada, founder of Adafruit Industries, has been using CadSoft
EAGLE for a number of years and commented: "For my desktop computer, I depend on CadSoft
EAGLE. It's my tool of choice for designing the electronics I create at Adafruit
Industries and a lot of engineers use it to make the circuit boards for electronic
products."
Version 6.4 also delivers an improved user interface, control panel and display and
search function making the software easier to use and increasing design productivity. V6.4
also provides extended support for Mac OSX 10.8.
"For rapid prototyping and wider systems development PCB design is a critical part of
the design flow that can become a bottleneck. The enhanced features and extended
interoperability with other products make this release of CadSoft EAGLE an even smarter
choice for designers who need speed and flexibility coupled with ease of use and quality
of design," said Thomas Liratsch, General Manager at CadSoft.
EAGLE has just been named the Product of the Year 2013 by German magazine Elektronik.
