Autodesk EAGLE

Description

Autodesk EAGLE is a CAD application used to design the layout of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). EAGLE stands to "Easily Applicable Graphical Editor." It's available for Windows, OS X and Linux. Autodesk EAGLE was formerly known as CadSoft EAGLE.

EAGLE allows you to create the layout of electrical wires, central processors, and other electronic components on your PCB. The application offers Schematic Editor, Layout Editor, Library Editor, and Autorouter modules to help you design your PCB. You can use these modules to modify different elements of your PCB, such as layers, reference points, and object properties. The program includes other features such as self defined commands, simulation, and data import and export functionality.

EAGLE also offers User Language Program (ULP), functionality. ULPs are programs that EAGLE can execute to modify internal data, instruction sequences, and produce data. They are similar to plugins, as they add user-modified functions to EAGLE. ULPs are available for download from the Autodesk EAGLE website.

Autodesk EAGLE, a PCB CAD program, is very useful. It allows you to design your PCB using the tools provided and supports ULP functionality. If you are a professional or just a hobbyist, you will most likely find Autodesk EAGLE up to the task.
