DipTrace Overview

What is DipTrace?

PCB Layout is a high-level engineering tool for board design featuring smart manual routing of high-speed and differential signals, shape-based autorouter, advanced verification, and wide import/export capabilities. Design requirements are defined by net classes, class-to-class rules, and detailed settings by object types for each class or layer. DipTrace features design process with real-time DRC, which reports errors on the fly before actually making them. The board can be previewed in 3D and exported for mechanical CAD modeling. Design Rule Check with in-depth detailing, Net Connectivity verification, and comparing to source schematic ensure maximum quality of the final product.

What do you like best about DipTrace?

As the title suggests, I like how intuitive the program is and there is a very fast learning curve. There’s no need to be googling solutions all day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DipTrace?

It may not be able to handle larger scale projects. I haven’t tested it yet but it seems to not have as many capabilities as programs like Orcad for complex designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DipTrace:

If your project is small to medium scale, I would definitely recommend this program. Large scale projects I have not tested with diptrace so it may or may not be the most efficient tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DipTrace solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating a 2 layer PCB and schematic with around 500 pins. I was able to quickly get up and running never having used it before. If I were using Orcad for the first time it would have taken much longer even though the design was not very complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DipTrace?

It's 3D texturing and it's easy to handle tools and different layers visibility in one view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DipTrace?

The icons of the tools look quite older than the software. For changing width or peculiar parameters of the trace ,we would need to to quite some operations which can then made possible with some popup icon ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DipTrace solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been developing PCB from my highschool since I have been knowing it as a free development tool. I have realised many new techniques to do and NOT to do for design of PCB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DipTrace?

Patterns (footprints) generation tool is the best I have tried to date. I have used Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad and OrCAD. DipTrace beats them all by a mile. Symbols generation tool is excellent too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DipTrace?

There is no automated option for generating gerber files, bill of materials, pick and place, 3D step, schematic pdf and so on. It takes about 15-20 minutes to generate nice file package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DipTrace:

Look no further. This tool saves money and time at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
