Dude, WTF is up with that non-legit link?? It does not instill confidence that someone would be getting it from a primary source!

Hi Atmelio --
Just a heads up (this is Matt here btw! Hi!) EAGLE runs on Linux. We develop on Linux. So EAGLE is native on linux. You can download your favorite flavor from the site, .

Dave said in the video that someone from Autodesk (Matt?) would be on this forum, so I am hoping for an answer from Autodesk to the Linux version question. I have a lot of custom parts that I have designed in a library, in fact I am just starting another one, and it would be good to know as soon as possible before I have to redo all of them in KiCAD or whatever.
I did not mean to start an OS war by saying that I use only Linux-honestly. Here is my story: nine years ago, I wanted to pay my electricity bill and started up my Windows computer. The hard disk had crashed and I ended up having to install a new hard disk and reinstall Windows. I inserted the CD and reinstalled, but it would not let me login, saying that the hard disk had changed and that registration had failed (This was a Windows CD that I had bought from Bestbuy). I was getting worried that I cold lose electricity if I don't pay the bill, and I had a Linux Format magazine lying around with an Ubuntu 7.04 CD. I was able to install Ubuntu, get on the Internet and pay the bill within an hour. I staid with Ubuntu and over time, replaced all of my Windows programs with Linux programs. For me, it's about a guarantee that I can use my computer and that somebody is not going to disable my computer for whatever reason-that's all.
In any case, I am still hoping for an affirmative yes or no to the Linux version question of Eagle-thank you.

There is Linux on the road map, and it was stated that Eagle is developed on Linux I believe.
Meanwhile, while you are waiting, check the Eagle import into KiCad and you can likely run both.
That covers you against any "Corporate Shifts" at Autodesk - if licenses worry you, choose the path with no license.

English is not my native language, but I think that this question is about THE site, and not THIS site www.xxxxxx.xxx.
The site were you are supposed to download, the vendor website. After comma, was only an image showing how clearly were the options from THE site.
This isn't intend to be offensive

imgur is a popular place to get people to click on "viral" images and distribute Malware.

It is the equivalent of this :-)

Hi eHughes (hope you're well buddy!) -- I'd put it into imgur because inlining images wasn't working from my lame-o tablet last night. Oh well. The image just showed versions from the download page. Checkout www.cadsoft.io and click the download link to see the various versions. Also says Windows, Linux and Mac on the page. Point-being, EAGLE supports Linux natively. Likewise, Windows and Mac are also native support (no emulation). This is in part why it run so fast and manages to be stable across multiple OS's.

What bugs me about Eagle is that instead of right-clicking on a part and then choosing "move" or something, you have to choose "move" first and then click on the part. Unintuitive, but again, in the end, the boards work, and that's the main thing.
The reason that Eagle works like this, is because it works faster. You select the tool once, and than you can work with that tool
on multiple objects without the need to right-click every time. Once you get used to that, it's a real time saver.
Out of interest, AutoCad supports both methods.....the user can decide.
AutoCad also supports a command called MOCORO (MOve_COpy_ROtate) meaning you choose the command once and from there you can perform either of the commands repeatably without choosing again......net result speed!
There soooo much to learn from other cad programs and other factions of the cad world it frustrates me that some companies don't look into these things!......all for the sake of a bit of thought!

I am busy as every! Currently doing some cool space stuff with 1700 pin Xilinx parts.....
Don't sweat it, I am just pulling your chain :-). Now that that you are on the other team I have to give you a hard time
I hope you can do good things with EAGLE. I was a user for awhile and do have a soft spot for the tool. I did like the command line as well as the ULP capability. The biggest issue was that it could not grow with my needs but I guess an army of programmers at Autodesk could certain help things.
My thoughts:
1.). Push/shove routing.
2.). Supplier integration to make purchasing BOMs more automated
3.). Better mechanical tools (real dimensioning)
4.). A true 3d mode of where you get instant 3d in the window (not a goofy povray flow). It needs to be instant.
5.). STEP export (this is where the Autodesk link will be best)
6.). 3d STEP models embeddable in the libraries. It has to link into to real cad models in the parts themselves. No goofy formats. Only real CAD (step, goes, parasolid)
7.). More automation to generate documentation.
8.). IPC footprint generation
9.). An improved DRC system. It needs to be a lot more flexible to setup complex rules
The main issue with EAGLE's (and KiCad for that matter) 3D functionality through the ULPs is that it was focused on exporting pretty pictures. The real goal is to get the PCB in a real mechanical assembly that is fully constrained. This is the main disconnect between the hobby and pro worlds.
The old EAGLE team completely missed the point of 3D. I hope the guys at Autodesk can slap them with a bit of trout.
Good luck with your new position. I sincerely hope you can make some real change as it will make the entire ecosystem healthy. EAGLE has been effectively frozen in time since about 2008. The XML format and the ability to have user definable parameters were last real improvements that I saw. It was then that I had to switch to something else as it was costing me too man hours to do the complicated stuff.
real dimensioning for sure.
3D/Step/ anything that helps deal with tight mechanical realities.
This is one of my projects with 7 small double sided PCB's in a tight enclosure. What a fiddly mess it was to get it sorted out. The worst part are the 'tweaks' where small changes were needed. Nearly pulled all my hair out and that is a LOT of hair.
My big feature request list is
2. Improvement of meandering and trace length matching. Right now it's rather "cludegy". I should be able to select two nets and assign them as length matched. Then when I'm routing said nets they should show live lengths so I can massage the trace lengths as necessary. Right now it's a recursive matter of modifying a trace, running a ULP to read the lengths, and repeat until it's within tolerance.

This is already possible since V6. Check the manual, chapter 6.7 "Differential Pairs and Meanders".
My other question is, (yes I read the whole thread...) does Autodesk still retain the hobbyist/non-profit license?
To bad the educational license is only for the US (.edu email only) :-(
