Worse the people who generated those components all have their own idea of what key characteristics or key words should be and how they should be spelled.
The search functions are usually primitive. It can be hard to find your component in the library. Several of these packages actually have large libraries. Yes, I know that these components are in standard packages and I probably can edit some existing library elements but it has not been a good start to my trial.
#Adafruit diptrace library software
Am I just unlucky or are the libraries very hit and miss? Does Eagle have these components, for those who use Eagle? It now seems to me that you can pay £100s for software which is not only limited by pin counts or area or no cut-outs in ground planes (as in Proteus) but you also have to draw out standard components! I am perhaps a little naive but I thought that provided I stuck to simple circuits with common parts I could do straight forward layouts in the sort or drag and drop way that the videos show. Then I tried Diptrace and it didn't have any of them either and then I tried to get a demo version of Eagle and was presented with a detailed form which I'd have to submit before I could even start to download a demo so I canned that and finally tonight I tried KiCad and it didn't have them either. First I tried Proteus demo and none of these components were in the library. These are pretty well known components that have been around a while. The key components in my circuit are LT3081 and LT3091 regulators and a Ref102 voltage reference.
#Adafruit diptrace library full version
I decided the only thing was to actually try them - Proteus, DipTrace, Eagle and KiCAD (I had been hoping for there to be a obviously better choice and just go with that one but they all seem to have their faults in the low cost versions at least and a mixture of happy and decidedly unhappy users.) So I decided to get demo versions (or full version in the case of KiCAD) and lay out the little power supply circuit I've been working on. I have been dithering for ages with choosing a low cost CAD package to learn and use.
