CadSoft launches EAGLE version 6
CadSoft Computer GmbH, a part of Premier Farnell plc announced the launch of
version 6 of its easy-to-use ‘EAGLE’ PCB software for professional board design.
CadSoft EAGLE Version 6 is available to buy from today and focuses on
flexibility and enabling users to save time by optimizing and integrating new
features such as BGA escape routing, differential pair routing, automatic
meanders and undo/redo logs. Additionally this latest software provides
automatic layout dimension, assembly variants, cut out polygons, and the design
reuse feature to merge board/schematic pairs using the PASTE function with full
consistency.
EAGLE Version 6 not only helps in the design of a board, but also
saves designers time by providing direct connections to experienced,
high-quality PCB manufacturers for fast quotes on PCB fabrication. In North
America customers can connect with Pentalogix, for European customers
Eurocircuits is your reliable partner to get your prototype produced by mouse
click, through The Knode on element14.
Flexibility and productivity are also
achieved through User Language Programs (ULPs) for customization and feature
enhancement, such as 3D-visualization, simulation and data-export. Hundreds of
ULPs, project designs and part libraries to accelerate the design process are
available through CadSoft EAGLE’s download centre at
www.cadsoftusa.com/downloads/
CadSoft EAGLE users can also benefit in their
design process from Accelerated Design’s Ultra Librarian to quickly create
parts, symbols and footprints that can be exported to various PCB design flows.
The Ultra Librarian tools integrate Premier Farnell’s DesignLink, an integrated
tool, which offers a streamlined method to do component research by allowing a
designer to transparently interface to the search engine of their regional
supplier without leaving the design environment.
“This is a landmark day for our
award-winning CadSoft EAGLE PCB software with the launch of version 6,” said
Thomas Liratsch, CadSoft’s General Manager. “EAGLE v6.0 will make the lives of
design engineers even easier – saving them time and effort. Simply put, the new
release of EAGLE takes designer friendliness and freedom to a whole new
experience.”
