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.
