Autotrax was originally sold with Protel Schedit V3.31 for thisįunction. Integrated schematic capture ( = circuit design), or simulation so this must be doneīy another package. Translation must be achieved with third party tools. RS-274X format gerber files, so gerber file There are workarounds to achieve many of the extra features that are sometimes needed Such as autorouting (it does this, but not well), automatic Having two packages with theĪutotrax is not able to do all the finer operations of newer

This is not compatible with ProtelĪnd may be worth considering for new PCB designers. Who makes the PCB package "AutoTRAX DEX 2020". Autotrax's ShortfallsĪutotrax has had its name usurped by UK Kovacs, Much of an issue for those etching and drilling their own boards. The files are pretty much upwards compatible - justĮasytrax limited choices for track sizes and hole sizes - but this is not
#Autotrax free

PCB design work (my estimate) done today - and it is simple, fast, and free. The main advantage of Protel Autotrax is it quite capable of completing 95% of the
#Autotrax portable
Such as circular arrays of pads, bitmap to tracks (great for logos), PCB to bitmap.Īs Autotrax runs under Dosbox it is by default portable to any operating system. The file format is reasonably easy to manipulate, and people have written tools that provice special features Library components (new part footprints) are easy to generate in Autotrax. Panellising multiple PCBs for manufacture.Īutotrax is easy to drive with mouse, menu or keyboard commands. Autotrax can be used to produce PCBs with Most PCB manufacturers can import the Protel Autotrax format if you ask them, The file format is simple - which has resulted in manyĮngineers open-sourcing tools to support Autotrax. Protel in the early 1990's (See image, right).Īutotrax is capable of producing 6-8 layer boards (see image below) and With this unified and coherent source of design data being available to all the design applications at the platform level, design synchronization and data management becomes a simple process.Autotrax is a freeware PCB CAD package written by That’s one design project one model of the design data one development environment, visible to everyone. Unlike conventional design systems based on a collection of linked tool applications, the AutoTRAX unified platform allows each design application to access and modify a single, centralized model of the design data. It’s all there in a single, unified design platform.ĭEX-PCB also unifies your design data, from component models to sub-assemblies. That’s not how AutoTRAX is designed.ĭEX-PCB has been designed from the ground up as a powerful, single-application electronics development environment that contains all the advanced design tools you’ll need to capture and simulate hardware, design PCBs, collaborate with MCAD, manage your ECAD data and documentation, as well as manage your designs from concept to production. It’s just unsustainable and difficult to innovate on top of inconsistent design applications that rely on constantly unmatched data exchanges. The fragmented approach of trying to glue separate solutions together eventually breaks down as more challenges are thrown at them. This can be apparent in the way they struggle to meet even the current challenges. Traditional concepts of an electronics design system haven’t changed much, at least for most EDA vendors. * Excluding Electra which is owned and sold by Konekt No immoral Trojan horses to trap you into paying more.
#Autotrax software
The software is yours to keep.Īs DEX-PCB has only 1 license type, unlimited, you get it all*. There are absolutely no limits* to your design in DEX-PCB. Why do they limits their boards? Who know? Unlike software from other EDA developers DEX-PCB is not stymied by the limited thinking of the software developers of the last century.

This is in sharp contrast to the previous generation of software such as Diptrace, Eagle, MultiSim, Orcad, DesignSparks and Proteus which have separate data files for schematics and PCBs – even different applications with different user interfaces. AutoTRAX DEX-PCB : Powerful PCB design made easyĭEX-PCB is the industry’s only unified electronic design software which gives you an unmatched ability to design and build current and future generation of electronic products.
