PCB Creator

PCB Creator is a compact Windows application built specifically for helping users create PCB layouts and schematic designs.

As soon as run the application, you can select to create a new schematic or PCB design, edit components, or create and edit patterns.

The user interface may seem a bit overwhelming at a first glance but this is only because the program comes packed with many dedicated parameters.

You can create a new design from scratch or import data from Gerber files, or other file formats, such as DXF, ASC, or SES.

The components are well-organized in different categories (e.g. diodes, transistors, relays, switches, sockets, headers) which can be dragged and dropped directly into the working environment.

Another notable characteristic of this tool is represented by the possibility to check the designs for possible errors and view them displayed in a dedicated pane.

What’s more, you can zoom in or out, work with multiple layers, insert lines, rectangles, and circles, embed text messages, undo or redo your actions, print the generated designs, as well as perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, delete).

PCB Creator lets you lock certain components for making sure they cannot be moved, modified, or deleted accidently, set up the color parameters, insert tables and images (e.g. JPG, BMP, ICO, EMF), enable the routing mode, activate the 3D preview mode, as well make the app automatically arrange the components on the board.

The “Component Editor” and “Pattern Editor” panes provide several powerful tools built specifically for helping you design user-defined components and patterns, while offering support for zooming options and preset objects.

During our testing we have noticed that the utility offers excellent image quality, carries out a task very quickly, and without errors throughout the entire process.

PCB Creator comprises a complete suite of tools for helping you create PCB designs and schematics. It is suitable especially for professional users, as it bundles many advanced functions.
