Latest Updates for PCB Artist Design Software

The free PCB design software has always had impressive comprehensive tools and advanced capabilities, along with a large library of components.  Today, the latest version of PCB Artist 3.2 has an even large library of over 500,000 parts – that is free to use and has many hard to find parts.  The latest version also includes upgrades to the parts Library Manager that has improved the way users search and identify components from the extensive library.

Another new option that has been recently added to the design software is called “Fetch Component” on the Schematic and PCB Context menu that allows for much quicker component placement to the users current cursor position with just a few clicks.  The “Color by Net” feature on the latest 3.2 version has also been upgraded to include a “Color by Net Class” feature on both the Schematic and PCB Drawing modes that makes it easier for users to sort and visualize the nets and net classes in their circuit board design.

Being able to design your printed circuit boards with very few restrictions or limits gives you the flexibility to think outside of the box.
