I'm currently sitting on the fence about picking up a copy of CircuitStudio during the promo period. I've currently got the trial version installed and am going through the starter documents on their website, but I doubt I'll have time to explore it as well as I'd like before the promo period ends.
Also, for reference, I'm coming from having used EAGLE for the past few years. With the direction Autodesk is taking it I figured now's a good time to get out.
So for those who have experience with CircuitStudio, I was hoping to ask you some questions...
How easy is it to create libraries of your own components? I know EAGLE's part creation gets a lot of flak, though personally I haven't had too many problems with it. (It helps that EAGLE finally added the capability for arbitrary pad shapes.)
If we don't stick to the maintenance subscription, do we lose access to the vault? Is the vault a significant advantage if we can create our own libraries?
How powerful is the PCB layout aspect of CircuitStudio? One of the projects I'd like to do down the road has a bunch of LEDs laid out in a ring, all rotated to be radially aligned. I know I can do this in EAGLE with a script and move/rotate commands, and I'm wondering if it's as easy to do in CircuitStudio.
I'm sure I'll have more questions, I just need more time with the program.
Edit: Spelling mistake in the title.
