- DROEGE - Design Robot for Origination of Exacting Graphic Engineering
-
- DROEGE is a general purpose Computer Aided Design (CAD) program for the manual
- layout of printed circuit boards. The free version can normally handle
- circuits of about twenty chip equivalents, although an included demonstration
- file squeezes in a 200 square inch board with over 1000 components.
-
- FEATURES
-
- * 65000 by 65000 point layout area. Normally 65" by 65" to one mil precision
- but scale can be arbitrary.
-
- * Twelve Layers.
-
- * Three colors can be assigned to any of the twelve layers.
-
- * Fifteen Line Widths.
-
- * Very powerful symbol concept. A symbol can be as simple as pads on several
- layers, an IC layout, or a complete memory. Symbols can call symbols to
- level 20. Symbols can be rotated and mirrored.
-
- * Objects supported are lines, pads, symbols, labels, and arcs.
-
- * Fifteen viewing screens allow instant redraw to any preset part of the layout
- and to any scale.
-
- * Sixteen arrays allow quick changes between levels, line sizes, and colors.
-
- * Any layout grid is allowed and it can be changed during use.
-
- * Stitch function allows fast switching between layers with automatic insertion
- of vias.
-
- * Symbols can be saved as libraries. Symbol libraries can be merged.
-
- * Complete job parameters are saved with the job so that the exact working
- setup can be restored when work is continued.
-
- * About 60 pages of documentation including several demonstration circuit
- boards and a step by step tutor program.
