Eagle (Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor) - a complex program for drawing electrical circuits and printed circuit board trace electronic devices.
Eagle software package consists of three main components:
1. Schematic Module, intended for the drawing of electronic circuits using standard cells.
2. Layout Editor, which allows to develop drawing PCB own.
3. Autorouter, designed to trace the PCB without user intervention

It is possible to use third-party tracer exporting fee in any popular format. All transitions occur between modules within the program itself.Eagle has an extensive library of standard electronic components with a brief description, user-friendly editor element base and logic modules, check the connections and location of the components on the board. Eagle of the advantages over similar programs, experts note rollback events in any number of steps back, no problems when working on older computers, powerful scripting language, JavaScript drivers to output the result to a plotter or printer. Ability to export the result of work in the POV-Ray renderer allows you to create three-dimensional models boards.
There are paid (professional, standard) and free (light) version. In the light-version of the reduced size of usable area boards (10 by 8 cm), available only two conductive layers and a single sheet in the editor on the project schemes. For most amateur work is more than enough.Free version allows you to download, open and print drawings that go beyond the three constraints.
The program interface is fully English speaking. On the Internet there are informal localization of third-party developers, but they do not guarantee the completeness of the translation efficiency of the program after installation.
Eagle currently supports Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7. There are versions for Linux, Unix and Mac OS.
Distribution of the program: Freeware (free with limitations) and Shareware (fee required), the price - from $ 69
