Altium is aggressive on sales so even if you get CS you should be able to upgrade to AD later when they have their periodic sales pushes. I haven't tried it but I suspect you could use less expensive seat(s) of CS for schematic editing and entry and have a single seat of AD for PCB and library management and for the productivity boost it gives for parameter management and find similar objects. Else, you can't read an AD PCB directly in CS. You could get a trial version of AD and do this for the time it permits. Then edit as needed.įor PCBs, the link above is useful if you have access to AD and can export from it. If you have a schematic and want to make a library then you can select the parts and copy them to a new SCHLIB. CS has limited functionality and features as compared to Designer, but it also comes at a lower cost. Users who learn one software program can easily shift between the two. Released in 2015, it is very similar in functioning to Altium Designer. You can use existing SCHLIB and PCBLIB files and also INTLIB. It is a Schematic Capture and PCB design tool with 3-D modeling. CircuitStudio has a reduced set of functions. It is a very similar design tool like Altium Designer and Altium users can easily switch to CircuitStudio without much effort. Also, CS has no find similar objects function which would be really nice if it did. CircuitStudio is a new Schematic capture and PCB design software tool with fully realistic 3D functionality created by Altium company and is available for users since 2015. You can do some with the selection filters but I find it hit or miss.
In CS there is no parameter manager in either schematic or PCB. Enter the world of Professional PCB design, at an affordable price point, using a modern, unified, and intuitive interface.
