Re: [AVR-Chat] PC Board software

2006-09-16 by Roy E. Burrage

Thanks Ken.  It appears that there have been some changes since I looked 
at it last, which was quite some time ago.  And this brings up some 
questions:

1.  Are symbols only available in ISO standard or are ANSI libraries 
also available?

2.  I see a lot of export and import file formats.  Occasionally I am 
required to provide manufacturing drawings to my customer, original 
files.  To date they have all been able to use Protel compatible files.  
Can I do this with Eagle?  It isn't readily evident from the manual.

3.  I see they have a standard interface to Beige Bag spice simulator, 
which is something else I had looked at.  Have you used this?  Being 
primarily an analog person, forced into these microcontroller thingies 
and computers in general by customers, I still do a lot of analog work 
and the simulator generates typical waveforms for troubleshooting 
instructions if nothing else.

4.  I see a DXF to Eagle conversion utility in the user files.  I have 
several boards that date back to AutoCAD days.  Have you used this for 
any work and does it perform fairly well?

5.  Do you use the file export utility very much?  How is the resolution 
of the conversion output?

Thanks for the feedback.
