01

A Visual Canvas for Schematics

Open a KiCad, EasyEDA or Eagle design and work on it in a visual canvas. The text editor stays one click away.
  • The canvas is the first editor tab
  • Zoom, pan and grid snap; tools for select, wire, label, note and measure
  • Place a part, rotate and mirror it, undo and redo every edit
  • Every change is written back to the source file

02

Parts and Notes

Search a part database and drop the part on the sheet with its symbol and footprint.
  • Live part sources including JLCPCB and LCSC stock and prices, EasyEDA symbols and footprints, and the KiCad symbol library
  • Part details with manufacturer, package, stock, price tiers and a datasheet link
  • Sticky notes anchored to components, stored in a sidecar file so the manufacturer files stay clean

03

Board View and Gerber Viewer

See the board the way the fabricator sees it.
  • Layer manager with per-layer visibility and a bottom view
  • Pad shapes, drill holes and copper pours
  • Gerber and Excellon viewer that finds every layer of the folder and draws the real board

04

3D Board View Without a GPU

A software 3D view of the board. It needs no GPU and no browser.
  • Orbit, zoom and view presets for top and isometric
  • Component heights from the footprint or from package heuristics
  • PNG snapshot of the 3D scene for a report or a datasheet

05

Rule Checks, Export and AI Assistant

Check the design, then send it to your manufacturer.
  • Electrical rule checks for unconnected pins, duplicate references, missing footprints and missing part numbers
  • One-click package for JLCPCB, PCBWay, Eurocircuits, OSH Park and Aisler, with BOM and pick-and-place CSV
  • An AI assistant tab in the Schematics tool window with the full design context, using the backend you choose

06

Language Intelligence for KiCad Files

The text editor is a full editor for KiCad S-expression files, and for Gerber and Excellon files.
  • Syntax highlighting, code completion and a structure view
  • Quick documentation on hover, brace matching and formatting
  • References and rename for net labels and components
