Gerbers (Extended RS-274-X), Excellons, BOMs, component lists and positions are possible along with DXF (import and export) and IDF for interfacing to mechanical CAD software tools. DesignSpark PCB allows you to generate all the files required to take your project from circuit diagram to layout schematic to a circuit board built project. There are unlimited schematic sheets per project, up to 1m squared of board size and no limits on layers, which allow you to get your creativity flowing without restraints. (There are no intentional limitations on designs). This is not a cut down version of an expensive product or one with a time limitation on license. Bill of materials (BOMs) reports can also be generated at any time these give RS Components order numbers where appropriate.ĭesignSpark PCB is offered completely Free of Charge and fully featured. A comprehensive standard parts library is supplied, which can be amended, copied and added to as required and sophisticated part creation wizards make it easy to Design new parts from scratch or by amending standard symbols and footprints.

DesignSpark PCB supports the importing of Eagle CAD design files, circuit diagrams and libraries (See the Eagle import tutorial for further information). Multi-page schematic designs are supported and gerber (extended) file outputs allow the designer to choose who will manufacture the board. Free from practical constraints on board size, pin counts, layers and output types, DesignSpark PCB circuit design software can be used for schematic capture, PCB design, layout and generating manufacturing files.
