Hi Everyone,<\/span><\/p>\n

We have good news to share. And great news to share.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, the good: Since EAGLE joined the Autodesk family back in June<\/a>, we\u2019ve been hard at work improving its capabilities \u2013 to make life easier for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Version 7.7<\/a> packed in some great new features to make your path to a finished board as smooth as possible. And with today\u2019s release of Autodesk EAGLE, we\u2019ve shifted the focus to your design journey with new features that improve schematic editing, PCB layout, and design reuse capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

These improvements would never have been possible without the feedback we\u2019ve received from you – the EAGLE community. So again, we\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on the new inclusions in this release.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s new:<\/span><\/p>\n

A Brand New Routing Engine<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our developers have put the EAGLE PCB routing engine under the microscope and overhauled it completely. You\u2019ll find a number of new, interactive routing features inside that make it easy to design beautifully precise PCB layouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new routing engine also includes a whole set of trace clean-up tools that make it much easier to tidy up your board and make adjustments to existing paths. Inside you\u2019ll find automated loop removal, cornering for super-smooth tracks, quick and easy via placement while you route. Even the ability to undo track placement segment by segment (Hint: just click Backspace).<\/span><\/p>\n

Time Saving BGA Fanout<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now there\u2019s a much faster path to routing. Hours spent fanning out high pin-count BGAs, now turn into seconds as our advanced algorithm fans out every net on your BGA exactly where it needs to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

Modular Design Blocks<\/span><\/h2>\n

Why start from scratch when you already have an entire block of circuitry you want to reuse in another project? Modular Design Blocks in Autodesk EAGLE allow you to quickly replicate sections of circuitry between multiple projects. Even better, any change you make stays synchronized between your schematic and PCB.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is just a small sampling of all the features and enhancements we\u2019ve brought on board for Autodesk EAGLE. You can view them all on our Autodesk EAGLE release notes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Great News<\/span><\/h2>\n

For over 25 years, EAGLE upgrades have come with a higher cost and lower frequency than we would have liked. We think it\u2019s time to change this.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why from today, all future EAGLE upgrades (including today\u2019s release) will be available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Here\u2019s what the future holds Autodesk EAGLE subscribers:<\/span><\/p>\n
