alternatives to eagle

[Anonymous]

Like me I'm sure many of you were using Eagle precisely because they did NOT have screw-your-customer-subscription-model.

I have been an eagle customer since 1.0.  I use to get tech support directly from Klaus 🙂  I'm so freaking disappointed.

I'll have to use 7.6.0 for the time being.  It seems stable enough that it may be good enough for my work for at least a couple of more years, maybe longer.

So I am looking for recommendations for a different schematic capture/board layout program.  The choices are getting quite thin.  A lot of ridiculously expensive pay-for-it-all-the-time programs out there.

I'll start things off with KiCAD which I have already seen mentioned several times.

i have not used it yet, but I'll certainly be trying it out soon.

RIP Eagle.

Well, i feel in the same position., that i thing i have to leave Autodesk.

Using Eagle since the beginning, Later paying for my license to Autodesk, all so far so good.What now is NOT ok, is that somebody @ Autodesk cut my subscription off for what reason ever, and i would have to pay the double to buy a new subscription. (Sorry).

I had a chat with Autodesk where i've been told to write a mail to the responsible for this.

Since 2 weeks, i'm writing mails, and never nobody responds.
