Autodesk EAGLE Review

You will have no problem starting working with this piece of software thanks to a large number of theoretical materials, guides, and tutorials available online. Every design step, starting from the schematic assembly and finishing with the board design file that can be sent to a board house, are covered in great detail.

If you ever fail to find the component you need in the standard component libraries, you can always create your own, custom library components with the Autocad Eagle. Everything you'll need is the component package dimensions and pinout. Even if you are relatively new to the Autodesk Eagle, creating a custom, say eight pin package will take you around 30 minutes thanks to the simple and clear component creation guide available at the manufacturer's website.

You can download a free copy of the Autodesk Eagle to see it in action. Such copy will work perfectly for those working with double-sided printed circuit boards that are not larger than 80 square centimeters.
