Quit fritzing before you can use nothing but it without discomfort. Its buggy as he##. when you move the components around,sometimes,the traces change from being straight to curved. Components and traces sometimes randomly appear and disappear when you move them...This is specially true with jumpers. If you have too many components, it crashes sometimes. The only good thing about it is,it's super easy. |

Without trying to push you back into the Stone age, there was a program called Stripboard Magic that I played with briefly. Actually seemed quite useful, included component auto-place etc. |

VeeCAD can actually work with netlists from your favorite schametic editor, and seems to check your strip layout for consistency with the netlist: https://veecad.com/index.html. And, being German, I can't deny that "LochMaster" has a certain appeal just due to its stupid name... ;) |

long ago, a mad person showed me a trick for using stripboard with profesional cad software. set your settings to: double layer, routing layer 1 is prefered vertical (this is your jumpers) routing layer 2 is prefered horizontal (this is your strips) preference weighting is maximum. this should set your router tool to create a strip layout. |
