Cadsoft EAGLE - a complex tool for the development of printed circuit boards, starting with the principle of electric circuit and, finally, a printed circuit board and trace. Pro-version allows the design of printed circuit boards of up to 1600x1600 mm (16 layers) with a resolution of up to 1 / 10000 mm.

For this program implemented three modules: Schematic Module, Layout Editor, Autorouter. In addition, the program has a rather large library containing a variety of standard and fairly common electronic components such as microcontrollers, therefore, will not have to draw the image itself part of the scheme and create Footprint for PCB. Most components also have a short description.

The program includes a graphical schema editor (Schematic Editor), editor of the printed circuit boards (Layout Editor), very flexible and comfortable editor libraries (Library Editor) and avtotrassirovschik (Autorouter). The standard delivery also includes modules that validate the connection of electrical circuits (ERC - Electrical Rule Check) and the correct location of components on the motherboard (DRC - Design Rule Check).

The latter two operations look much nicer than in the more advanced systems. EAGLE validates the design and connections so that the user does not know that it is engaged in some strange tool. It should be noted that the user does not have to run through various software modules, as is done in P-CAD or ACCEL EDA - all conversions are carried out within the program itself. You can also fill a given space of polygons. EAGLE allows you to design multi-layer boards containing up to 16 layers and having a size 1626h1626 mm with resolution of 0.0001 mm. System of units (inch or metric) can be changed at any phase of the project without any loss.

One of the main advantages of this service professionals allocate a full synchronization of changes in the project. For example, if you change or delete any item in the scheme, it is immediately reflected on the drawing board. Programs such as ACCEL EDA, P-CAD and OrCAD must constantly monitor the entire project, with the slightest changes and at any stage. In addition, EAGLE's rollback (UNDO) is possible for any number of actions (this does not allow even the most powerful to date CAD - ACCEL EDA).
