Anybody tried LibrePCB ?

Without any auto-routing help, it is a little underdeveloped for today standards.

LibrePCB developer own say:

"So, if you are looking for an intuitive EDA tool to quickly design a simple PCB, you should give LibrePCB a try.
But if you want to design complex PCBs, LibrePCB is probably not (yet) the tool you are looking for."

But it is great that it is FREE (for now) and suit to all OS platform
and library solutions could be attractive.

That looks promising.
Be aware though, that the Linux download is 64-bit only. My Linux machine is running 32-bit Mint, so it wouldn't install.
If I get some free time, I'll try it on another computer.

I have (64bit) Linux Ubuntu MATE, and I am not able to proper install this application.

During installation it notice two installation errors (which I skip), installation then "successful" finished,
but all installed files remain locked (along with their properties unlock options) and nothing started.

I am usually checking new PCB design software, by drawing simple schematic that include
some relatively old parts like UJT transistors SCR and alike, typically this one:



If there is no way to find proper parts (for such basic schematic) in schematic drawing
module and adequate parts in PCB design module, then, from my point of view, it is
something to "Go Away" from it, cause it will suffer from many other parts too.
