Zenit PCB
ZenitPCB Layout is an excellent tool to create a professionally printed circuit board (PCB). It is a flexible easy to use CAD program, which allows you to realize your projects in a short time. Zenit PCB Layout is completely freeware for personal or semi-professional use, limited to 800 pins, that is borderline, between the hobby and professional jobs.
With ZenitPCB Layout is possible to create the project starting both from the schematic capture or by the layout itself.
- In the first instance, you can import a netlist (file ASCII containing electrical info) from different schematic capture ( Orcad®, Pads®, Multisim®, Protel®, Eagle®….), whit all the components and the relative electrical connections (net).
- In the second instance, you can realize your project directly from the layout editor, importing components from the library, and connecting the pins directly with the cursor (auto ratlines).
It is, therefore, possible to create a board without importing a netlist from Schematic capture.
ZenitPCB Layout has all the need to achieve a good printed circuit board, is single side both double-side, using the rules of the individual project or general, through the net class. Here you can find some PCB Features.
Now, for more control of the project, you can review the Gerber created, through the viewer ZenitPCB GerberView.
