Power for the Professional: <\/strong>What\u2019s New in Autodesk EAGLE 9.0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Ladies and gentlemen, the next major update for Autodesk EAGLE has landed! This release is all about upgrading the professional tool that you know and love with some much needed intelligence and accessibility. Inside you\u2019ll find new tools that help you cut out the busywork and focus on what really matters, designing professional electronic devices. We\u2019ve got new features for routing, schematic capture, and design management that will level up your electronics design game. Here\u2019s what\u2019s new in this release:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Quick Route<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

First, a quick walk down memory lane. The first commercially available ECAD tool came about in the 1980s. Before then it was all about tape and mylar. With ECAD, we took what was once a physical process of routing and just transferred it into the digital domain. The way we have been routing has largely remained unchanged. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"pcb<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yep, we\u2019re still doing this, just with a mouse. (<\/span><\/i>Image source<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, this is a bit of a problem. We\u2019re still manually routing PCBs the same way we did 30 years ago, but our board layouts have changed dramatically. Complexity has expanded, but our process has stalled. With Quick Route, we decided it’s time to move designers beyond the manual point-to-point mentality into a more intelligent way of working. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it does<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Route lets you route single nets, multiple nets and differential pairs in rapid-fire with a single mouse click. No, this is not another autorouter, this is an <\/span>intelligent routing aide<\/b>. You get to decide which nets get routed, and Quick Route does the manual busywork of connecting that net from node to node for you. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Quick Route we\u2019ve designed a system that analyzes all of your nets holistically before deciding how to make a connection. How does this manifest? When Quick Route connects a net, the results look incredibly natural and human. You get the beauty of a flowing board layout without all of the manual busywork. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Quick Route supports single-click finish for:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
