RS Components ( ) (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc ( )(LSE:ECM), the world's leading high service distributor of electronics and maintenance products, today unveiled Version 3 of DesignSpark PCB, the company's free professional standard PCB design software, used by professional designers, hobbyists and students. New user-requested functionality in Version 3 includes an interface to design simulators, enhanced circuit-element grouping capability and design calculators 9, 2011 (ANTARA/PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet). And if it doesn't, just google 'Eagle into DesignSpark' or check out the help files in DesignSpark.SINGAPORE, Nov. Once you have the 'intermediates' created, just open them in DesignSpark. There's some other fun stuff in there too that you may find helpful. Then open the EagleULP folder.įor the schematic, you want to run SchematicToIntermediate.ulp.įor the board, you want to run PcbToIntermediate.ulp. Mine is in my Program Files/DesignSpark PCB. Browse to where you installed DesignSpark.

From there, you just run a ULP script to convert the file to a format that DesignSpark can open.įor example, in Eagle, click the ULP button (of File, Run ULP). I've been able to do what I need to with the free version.Įssentially, download the board and schematic as I said. Sadly, you have to have Eagle installed to do this.

Once you have the Eagle files, it's takes just a bit of very minor work to get them into DesignSpark. So to get your DUE schematics and boards, just go to the website. One of the reasons I chose DesignSpark over other packages out there was because it says it can import Eagle design files. Always had good luck with Eagle, but sadly don't have the money to upgrade to a better version. I just downloaded DesignSpark today because I was tired of the size limitation on Eagle.
