--- Quote from: Monkeh on October 20, 2017, 01:24:02 am ---Eh what, Eagle is the choice of champions? Okay, it's at least free to look.. I'm an Eagle user, and I think it's a crap choice for OSHW, very nearly as crap as Altium (again, at least you can look with Eagle..) --- End quote --- I was taking the piss a bit, but Eagle is indeed the "defacto" choice of the OSHW industry, many of the major players like Adafruit et.al use it. --- Quote ---Oh, you can modify larger boards - it's just XML, after all.. --- End quote --- Yeah, good luck... |

I've even been through and fixed up entire libraries that way. |

But editing schematics is not going to happen. |

(okay, multiple schematic sheets are also a problem, I believe). |

That's what it should mean. --- End quote --- I agree, which is why I developed my new creative commons type OSHW logo idea. But the "official" OSHW organisation does not see it that way, nor do many of the major players (Adafruit et.el) for example. The problem is many of these OSHW companies have often never actually developed (and put huge $ and time into) any real polished commercial products. They just make bare boards, kits etc, which is great of course, but then they think that every commercial company should do the same as they do. It a position that lacks any sense of practical commercial reality. |
