Design and edit printed circuit board layouts in the utility featuring multiple tools and a library of templates for objects like solder pads, SMD pads, tracks, zones, text-labels, etc. Multiple hotkeys are available for easy access. Generated board designs are saved as BMP, JPG, GIF, EMF.
Sprint-Layout is a software program developed to help customers design and edit printed circuit board layouts while providing the means to create single-sided, double-sided, or multilayer PCB-Printed Circuit Board.
The GUI can be described as average, is not the most modern one, but has a well-organized main screen, with a tool panel on the left, a main menu, and a common action bar, all displayed around main interest area, where creative work happens.
Also, inside the main menu, users can find some pretty well-optimized and advanced customization options.
Sprint-Layout comes packed with a wide range of features and tools for creating board designs, such as text-labels, solder pads, tracks, or zones.
One of the most important function is the Automatic Ground Plane. By filling unused areas of a layout with copper automatically, this function helps users create a screen for HF-board.
Moreover, the program features a complex library with predefined components for SMD layouts. The users are able to drag and drop a component, rotate it, label it, or move it.
Additionally, with Footprint-Wizard, users can create unique footprints components, either by specifying the footprint-type, or the parameters.
To sum it up, Sprint-Layout is a well-rounded PCB design program that offers a wide variety of features, though you may have to pay an important sum to use its full features, and, not to forget, it requires a high-end PC.
v6.0 [Oct 23, 2012]
-Anti-alias
The graphic representation of Sprint-Layout is substantially improved by the use of the anti-alias technology.
-Higher resolution and accuracy
The resolution and the accuracy of Sprint-Layout is increased tenfold. This concerns also the grid settings and the maximum zoom factor. So there is no problem to design very fine layout structures.
-Components
Sprint-Layout is now able to display and manage components including identifier and value. Even a component-list is available.
-Pick Place data
Sprint-Layout is now able to generate and export pick place files. These files are necessary for automated assemblies of SMD boards.
-Gerber import
The possibility of a Gerber import allows you to load existing Gerber files and convert them to a ready layout in Sprint-Layout.
