Easy to learn and easy to use system manual PCB design.
The main advantages are the ease of development ExpressPCB, quickness to create your own database of radio components and microcircuits, the correctness of the program. ExpressPCB combines the best qualities of Sprint Layout
ExpressPCB editor designed for the manual creation of bilateral PCB-containing items, such as with planar and with solder pins.Implemented the ability to import the netlist drawn in ExpressSCH, as well as highlighting the unconnected pads. Most electronic components are numbered digital code, making it easier to further their search and purchase. Option «Snap to grid» with high accuracy to place items on the board. After completion of the work program reports the approximate price for manufacturing boards, and the function «Order boards via the Internet» helps to order. In both applications, there are libraries of standard components. Unfortunately, not without drawbacks. Noteworthy is the absence autorouter support Cyrillic characters, the function checks all the links for the optimal arrangement of parts, the print preview. For the iron-home method of production of printed circuit boards, ExpressPCB wonderful works in conjunction with circuit simulation program SwitcherCAD. Supports the expansion. Pcb program P-CAD.
Despite the simplicity of the program, there are two small incremental guide for beginners and special tips for PCB layout in English.
The program is written by a small team of American programmers and hobbyists. The aim of the work they put prompt resolution of various production problems through rapid development and manufacture of high-quality two-or four-layer printed circuit boards, with delivery the next day to anywhere in the world. After completion of the wiring board, the program automatically calculates the exact cost of board fabrication and on the official website, you can order the production of circuit boards.
ExpressPCB is running Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7. However, be careful when downloading the installation files to the program. One of them only work with XP, 2000 and NT, and the other - in Vista and Windows 7.
