What evolution is there for me, to be able to draw in 3D, when I’m designing the control logic for a relay? What good is the graphic overlay (very well-done, incidentally) as I’m designing a microphone pre-amp? Otherwise, it’s not evolution, it’s regression. My grand-father alway said “technological evolution must and always should preserve past improvements. I am not against evolution, quite the contrary! But not when it’s at the expense of existing assets. I feel like you are wanting to add extra floors to the building without first consolidating the base.
We feel left out and I am upset to think that I’ll have to change right in the middle of projects.ĭo not forget that you are our development partners we rely on you because it all goes through you. That is my current situation and, I believe, that of many others who use Eagle without the need for Fusion. You are about to merge two fairly complex applications into one, without even knowing whether Eagle (standalone) can work under Big Sur! (Now I know, Jorge reply me yesterday)Do not forget that whilst you are changing your sales policy, there are many former users that work and develop using Eagle Standalone as I type this.

Or at the very least, for Eagle’s original and loyal clients! (let’s talk about it again in a year’s time?).Įagle is a fabulous piece of software which still lacks a few improvements that you were implementing at a frantic pace, quite efficiently too… it felt good to see that you were listening to your users, and supporting us.Īnd all of a sudden: black out! Nothing from you and without notice or any kind of information (if I’m not mistaken). This post is addressed to Eagle’s original developers.īeing an avid Eagle user, and not of Fusion 360 (which is of no use to me), I am both saddened and worried when reading all of this and I really think you have signed Eagle’s death warrant with this merger. With the current model of renting software, I could be locked out of using older versions, even if I would be willing to pay all the money in the world to keep doing so.
Diptrace vs eagle Offline#
I still have my old copy of CADSoft EAGLE (maybe 5.x or 6.x? Can't remember.) which I can use offline forever. For all we know, EAGLE standalone could be discontinued tomorrow, and all downloads be removed and the licensing servers shut down so you can't even keep using your old downloaded version. What's lacking is a stated long term commitment to the product. Sorry for that confusion, I agree it isn't evident without a bit of an explanation!
Diptrace vs eagle license#
So yes, you can purchase a license to access EAGLE premium, just that that license is a Fusion 360 license and not EAGLE. The Fusion 360 entitlement now entitles you to both EAGLE and Fusion 360 and is actually about $15 USD less than the price of EAGLE Premium. If Fusion 360 could always stick to its mission of remaining affordable for those who can't deal with the oppression of the SASS based overlords of engineering (autodesk included at times) then I think that it will have at least carried the torch that Eagle kept burning for a long, long the question of can you still purchase eagle, if you purchase Fusion 360 ( same price, found here) you actually have access to both EAGLE and Fusion and both have an electronics environment for PCB design & fabrication. Software just needs to evolve over time in order to facilitate innovation in unforeseen ways and I kind of see the evolution of the platform as a critical change for making odd components and Mechatronic designs (which is what I need it for).
so on) is really hurting my productivity at the moment. I certainly can relate as not having layer shortcuts (F1, F2, F3. Eagle is a great, reliable piece of software but had some really tough work flows to get past even in its prime. (IE: libraries, snapping, footprint design from scratch, edge cards)Ĭertainly this post might make some old school folks cringe who have all of their shortcuts / ULP's locked in and I do not mean disrespect in any way. I find the CAD part of so called ECAD in general to be extremely limiting not just for profiling and 3d model integration but really when it comes to thinking about circuitry from a 3 dimensional perspective.
I wasn't just expecting the integration to happen but I am really banking on it. I share the ITAR concerns of the other contributors on this post, however I am an MCAD user who has adopted electronics design through EAGLE desktop right as Autodesk acquired the program.
