DipTrace is EDA/CAD software for creating schematic diagrams and printed circuit boards. The developers provide a multilingual interface and tutorials (currently available in English and 22 other languages). DipTrace has 4 modules: Schematic Capture Editor, PCB Layout Editor with built-in shape-based autorouter and 3D Preview & Export, Component Editor, and Pattern Editor.

Four modules packed into one efficient tool
The moment DipTrace is launched, it makes it clear that it is a capable application. It comes with multiple modules that allow you to create a board from scratch or open and perfect an existing project.
DipTrace enables you to take every step needed in order to design the PCB, create accurate schematics, generate patterns, and even draw new components and symbols that you need for your project.
Comprehensive interface fit for anyone to use
DipTrace isn’t necessarily what you call user-friendly due to the fact that it is an application from the CAD family and it is intended for a select group of people.
This, however, shouldn’t discourage anyone from using it as it displays a classic-looking interface which is easy to understand given a few hours of practice. Moreover, if you find yourself stumbling on something, the application provides detailed documentation to aid you.
Though each module serves a different purpose, the general tool and toolbar layout is the same, and this is because DipTrace is built to ensure continuity throughout the entire design process even though you switch applications.
Complete PCB design
From start to finish, DipTrace enables you to draw the schematic and verify it for errors, convert it into a printed circuit board, add parts from a vast library, assign routes, pour copper, verify the overall design, preview the 3D model, and prepare manufacturer documentation.
Create printed circuit boards using intuitive tools
Though we haven’t gotten into any specifics or feature details, that being for you to discover, it’s safe to say that if you’re looking to create a complete PCB design, DipTrace is the right tool.
- New Walk Around Router and combined Walk Around + Push modes for maximum flexibility in interactive routing.
- Automatic connection of intermediate pads when completing a trace — less manual fixing, more productivity.
- Improved Find in Layout/Schematic: instantly select results on the canvas, edit object properties directly from the list, and use multi-selection.
