Advanced Circuits™ is proud to be a pioneer in the industry offering exclusive services that make circuit board design, ordering, manufacturing, and assembly an easy process.  From the initial circuit board concept, our free PCB Artist™ layout software allows you to design without “paywalls” or the many limitations that you may find on other “free” options available online.

Highly Capable PCB Design Software with Popular User-Friendly Interface

The circuit board design software has gained its popularity because its user interface is very intuitive and easy to learn for first-time users.  Since its first release on Downloads.com, the software has been downloaded over 265 thousand times – making it the most active circuit board design software on the third-party site.  Another reason PCB Artist™ is widely used among makers, hobbyists, and professional electronic/hardware design engineers is because it is highly capable and without the high price tag of other professional design software.  The software has evolved and has been improved upon to offer more and more complex features for advanced layouts with comprehensive tools while maintaining a user-friendly interface.

A Huge Library of Over 500,000 Parts Makes Circuit Board Design Easy

One key feature that you may not find included in many free circuit board design software available is a large parts library – especially loaded with hard-to-find parts.  The parts library is integrated in the software and allows users to import the component specifications to their design and a recent update allows users to place their components even quicker by right-clicking and using the “Fetch Component” feature to place the component directly on the current cursor position.

Fully Supported Circuit Board Design Software with “Live” Technical Support

Many of the free PCB design software available online are to be “used at your own risk”…meaning that there is not much support available when needed.  Some do have extensive “user-generated” help pages and forums that you can dig through to see if other have encountered a similar issue to yours, but that is as far as it goes.  The advantage of using a circuit board design software powered by Advanced Circuits™ is that we provide dedicated “Live” Technical Support for our software and also have created tutorial videos and instruction manuals to get you started quickly.  If an issue is ever encountered with our PCB Artist™ design software, we encourage you to give our PCB Artist™ Live Tech Support a call at 1-800-979-4722 x.1025 or email layouthelp@4pcb.com.
