There are several interesting programs available for free, like Circuit Maker, and paid ones like Altium. So if one does this in Linux, he should convert the UNIX end of line to CRLF for DipTrace to the libraries correctly.PCB design software allows students and engineers to design PCBs or Printed circuit boards.DipTrace reads only files with CRLF line terminators.Eagle for Win32 produces script files with CRLF line terminators.Eagle for GNU/Linux produces script files with “UNIX” end of line.MoreĪccording to this post, if doing it in Linux, pay attention to the problem: In the end, check the pin mapping in the component editor (click “pattern” in the “component properties” window in the component editor). Save the component schematic under one of the existing group (or create a new group).

Right click on the component of interest, and click “Save to library” in the right-click menu. Next, import the schematic to DipTrace by clicking “File”–>”Import”–>”DipTrace ASCII”.

However, the latter just needs an extra step.įirst open the schematic or layout (they should come in pairs) in Eagle, run ULP jobs and the ULP scripts are provided by DipTrace (not Eagle), which are usually in “$DIPTRACE_ROOT/Utils/Eagle_to_DipTrace_SCH.ulp” or “$DIPTRACE_ROOT/Utils/Eagle_to_DipTrace_PCB.ulp”. The tutorial on this page works for porting Eagle schematics and layouts which contain various components to DipTrace, but not for the library directly. To my knowledge at the time of writing, there is no direct way of porting Eagle libraries (component schematics and layouts) to DipTrace.

Note: better doing this in a Windows system with both Eagle and DipTrace.
