Please log in for more thread options Can anyone tell me what the differences are in terms of the features offered, between EasyPC and Pulsonix as they seem the same at first glance? I'm looking for some Schematic capture and Layout tools that can handle as a minimum: up to say 8 layers, split power planes, copper pour, top & bottom component placement. More advanced features such as differential pair track length matching would also be useful. If anyone has any guidance, I'd be glad to hear. TIA. Rog. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options They are produced by the same company, but are aimed at different markets. Pulsonix has features which make it much more suitable for professional high-end designs than Easy-PC, which is intended for educational and hobbyist users. For instance, Pulsonix supports blind and buried vias, will import designs from most of the other packages, supports chip-on-board, etc. Pulsonix is probably more suitable for your requirements than Easy-PC. Why not download the demo and try it? Pulsonix will give you a 30 day full license on request, for a proper evaluation.

Thanks for your inputs. Being a one-man outfit, price is an important factor for me. I've been looking at EAGLE and Boardmaker3 which also seem to be in the next tier down from the expensive big-name tool suites. Regards, Rog. > Can anyone tell me what the differences are in terms of the features

Eagle is very awkward to use, as it doesn't conform to Windows standards. Boardmaker was written by the person who wrote the original Easy-PC program, many years ago.
