《设计印刷电路板PCB软件》（CadSoft Eagle Professional 5.11.0）

CadSoft EAGLE是一款用于设计印刷电路板（PCB）的软件，
包括三个模块。简单易用，功能强大。
位于俄勒冈州Mulino的印刷电路板（PCB）原型解决方案供应商Sunstone Circuits发布了一项经工厂验证的附加设备。这种设备可安装在CadSoft的EAGLE PCB设计工具内，交互提高Sunstone的生产能力。
Sunstone Circuits首席执行官Terry Heilman说："这种可制造性设计（DFM）附加工具，增添了EAGLE PCB设计软件用户的信心，使他们确定Sunstone能够为其PCB提供可制造性。通过将设计规则检查（DRC）机制载入EAGLE，并为 Sunstone的EAGLE设计规则机制提供全面补充，Sunstone可确保设计师的作品符合我们公布的产能需求。我们将为EAGLE PCB用户免费提供这种附加设备，而这仅仅是Sunstone力图发展为最便携和最优秀PCB解决方案供应商所采取的另一种途径。作为最杰出的PCB解决方案供应商，Sunstone有效运用了Q2D™，即报价至交货解决方案。"
可制造性设计附加工具用户获得的优势包括：
——减少成本：有助于在设计过程中及早避免误差，并最大程度地减少后续更正需求；
——节省时间：利用现有规则操作而非要求用户创建自身设计规则，可提高PCB设计速度；
——简化工艺：按设计规则循序渐进，可缓解设计工艺难点。
EAGLE PCB设计软件的美国分销商CadSoft美国总经理Ed Robledo对可制造性设计附加工具备加推崇，他说："CadSoft的设计规则检查机制可理想地帮助行业领先PCB生产公司，量身定做可制造性设计规则。通过向客户提供经实际验证的正确生产参数，Sunstone可为所有EAGLE用户开辟统一的设计规则检查环境。"


EAGLE (Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor) is an ECAD program produced by Cadsoft in Germany. It is very commonly used by private electronics enthusiasts, because there is a very usable.Cadsoft has released versions for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. EAGLE provides a schematic editor, for designing circuit diagrams and a tightly integrated PCB layout editor, which automatically starts off with all of the components required by the schematic. Components are manually arranged on the board, with the help of coloured lines showing the eventual connections between pins that are required by the schematic, to aid in finding a placement that will allow the most efficient track layout.It also provides a good autorouter, which once the components have been placed will attempt to automatically find an optimal track layout to make the electrical connections. It does not always manage to find a way of routing all the signals, although it permits manual routing of critical paths such as power and high frequency lines before letting the autorouter handle the other connections.
