-
Cross-platform (Unix/Linux, Mac OS X, Windows)
-
All-In-One: project management + library/schematic/board editors
-
Intuitive, modern and easy-to-use graphical user interface
-
Very powerful library design with some innovative concepts
-
Human-readable file formats for both libraries and projects
-
Multi-PCB feature (different PCB variants of the same schematic)
-
Automatic netlist synchronisation between schematic and board
LibrePCB is still under development and many features are not implemented yet. So here’s an overview about the project status:
-
Downloading, creating and modifying libraries
-
Drawing simple schematics with multiple sheets (incl. print or PDF export)
-
Creating simple multilayer PCBs (incl. Gerber/Excellon export)
-
No bill of materials (BOM) export [wishlist]
-
No design rule check
-
No hierarchical schematics [wishlist]
-
No buses in schematics [wishlist]
-
No 3D board viewer [wishlist]
-
No clipboard functionality (cut/copy/paste) [#13]
Of course all these features will be implemented in future. Please consider to contribute or donate to support the development of LibrePCB!
