I'll let him know their software is shite. It has gotten way better but I'm still hard-wired now to be a habitual saver because I'm afraid it's gonna go down.Īn old coworker of my wife's is a uX designer over at the Fusion team and I met him last week at a show. That used to be par for the course for SW back 8-10 years ago. Without that they'll run the risk of not having a Linux desktop with enterprise support to run it on). I'm surprised their major backers aren't pushing them to migrate to Wayland. (The comment above about Wayland, i wasn't aware of that. Search for components from JLCPCB in-stock parts library and top global electronics distributors, and pre-purchase components for quick PCB Assembly at. And i have a long term hatred of anything that uses KDE/WxWidgets etc. After the relative simplicity of gEDA the learning curve is steep. I've considered switching to KiCad on more that one occasion, but the workflow just looks way too complex. The PCB component got forked some time back* & they're adding new features, but files created with the new version aren't backward compatible with pcb, so theres no way back once you switch, which has put me off migrating to it. The gEDA repos are now hosted on github, a couple of people seem to be committing code, though no major new features. I spent maybe 15 minutes (mind you I had already become very familiar with Diptrace's interface) of being is pure frustration with the interface. The comparison is made based on several criteria: 1. Diptrace does a really good job of keeping it simple and straightforward to use. So far, building the git repo on the current Fedora has been straighforward, so it's not an issue for me to continue with it there. We would like to bring to your attention a comparative analysis of DipTrace and KiCad. Creating new symbols, footprints etc is really simple for me with gEDA.įedora dropped gEDA a couple of releases back, which says a lot on it's longer term future. I reckoned that was less effort than switching to KiCad. Some time back it refused to build for me in macports, some dependency/version issue with scheme iirc, so i ended up building most of it's toolchain & keep that in an isolated tree that won't break if i update macports. But it's needed work to keep it running on both over the last couple of years I still use it, mostly on MacOS, sometimes on Fedora. Happy they tried but not really ready to use yet. Such a shame.īTW I tried LibrePCB on Debiun linux at work before I had them purchase my Fusion 360 license. What happened to GEDA PCB? Is it dead now? I don't hear anyone mentioning it anywhere. Kicad is really getting close to being %100 with the big boys. You can use dxf or Gerber's from kicad to integrate with PCB-investigator for signal integrity, power integrity and thermal evaluation of your PCB. I still have persistent bugs where settings for net label xref reverts to default format after some customization. I'm sure I could have used kicad 6 for free with more up time than paid Autodesk software. Altium is $1500 a year for a well equiped set of add-on options. We have 6 seats for the full suite of Autodesk products. Fusion 360 crashed 3 times today in 4 hours of work.
