Ultiboard Overview

What is Ultiboard?

Ultiboard is printed circuit board design and layout software that integrates seamlessly with Multisim to accelerate PCB prototype development. Ultiboard software offers efficient PCB design layout and routing with a customizable environment. You can use its flexible tools to place parts and copper with manual precision to define critical board elements. With its automated functionality, you can quickly complete a design. The advanced spreadsheet view, toolbox, and design wizards help you easily manage, control, and define any board layout. Seamless integration with Multisim software provides simple schematic transfer to PCB, and forward and backward annotation ensures design iteration management. You can easily export industry-standard file formats such as Gerber and DXF to complete the design flow from schematic to layout

"I have designed all my complex PCB designed in Ni Ultiboard and my experience is excellent."
Most of the PCB design softwares are more complex for beginners. The best thing about Ni Ultiboard is its simplicity. It is as simple as beginners ...

What do you like best about Ultiboard?

Its a NI instrument product and as usual its student-centric. So your expectation should not be like the professional tools out there in the market like Altium or Orcad. However I find it easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ultiboard?

Lack of support tools. Many things in routing traces I had to do manually, whereas other CAD software provides tool for those which drastically reduce the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ultiboard:

If you are student or teacher, interested to do/teach basics of PCB designing , then you can start with Ultiboard. Its integrated with NI Multisim which has a nice circuit simulation engine, so one does not have to do much work after first stage of design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PCB designing . This is the one and only solution Ultiboard provides.

Didnt find mentionable benefits compared to other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ultiboard?

The auto routing features help a novel user understand the rules of PCB designing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ultiboard?

The fact that I've used Ultiboard along with Multisim means that there is a dependency. It would be much better if you could just start design the circuits in Ultiboard. Of course, I haven't used the software extensively so there might be a way to do this but I'm not aware of that yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Main purpose of my use was too teach students about PCB designing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
