PCBWeb Software
Online CAD system for drawing schemes and creating printed circuit boards of electronic devices.
PCBWeb allows you to draw electrical circuit diagrams, formed on the basis of their circuit boards, export ready-made solutions in the format Gerber, necessary for their manufacture. This application consists of three main parts: Schematic, PCB and Bill of Materials.
At the beginning of the user is a complete list of his projects. You can also create lists of trusted authorized users, who will have the right to open and edit a specific project. In PCBWeb all the features typical of this kind of package, in particular: editing workload (cut, copy, and delete electronic components, undo and redo actions that have occurred), changes in the characteristics of radio components, adding new circuits to an existing project, save and export operations. In addition there are features for configuring ports create multi-circuits and multilayer circuit boards, potting, design rule checking, support for metric and imperial systems of coordinates. With this program you can PCBWeb in real time to generate a list of the components used with the price, and get links to their order.
Software package developed in partnership with Digi-Key , one of the largest distributors of electronic components. Size provided library radioelements really huge, there are a variety of resistance, capacitance, filters, oscillators, generators, inputs, potentiometers, keys, measuring instruments, sensors, batteries, connectors, inductors, memory cards, optoelectronic products, audio components, transformers and much much more. Unfortunately, for many of them there is no graphical display used in the schematic editor and PCB footprint. The program offers to draw them yourself, using the services of the integrated editor.
Among the shortcomings PCBWeb should be noted also that this environment is currently being still in beta testing. The application contains a lot of bugs in the code. As a result - regular and sustained hovering stoppages software. Visually beautiful interface program is not without some shortcomings. Doing some operations are not clear, but the lack of user manual or help file only aggravate the situation. Hopefully, the developers will be able to eliminate all defects and finish the whole ambitious program PCBWeb.
Considered browser application is absolutely free. To get started with the software package PCBWeb need to register on that site, as well as downloading and installing Microsoft Silverlight, allowing to work with Web applications that contain animation and vector graphics.
Developing a program of workers engaged PCBWeb Silicon Frameworks. This organization is located in the small town of Hawi (the northern tip of the island of Hawaii). Silicon Frameworks has strong partnerships in the electronics industry and many years of experience in designing CAD-systems. Currently, the organization is looking for people for the further development of the above online application.
Russian language support no interface software package PCBWeb entirely in English.
The main advantage is the use of PCBWeb software platform Silverlight. Thanks to this application may not work only under Microsoft Windows, but also on Mac and Linux. The only requirement for the end-user hardware is stable and high speed Internet connection.
Considered software is designed to work on PCs running under Microsoft Windows.
Distribution of the program: Freeware
