If it could only read netlists from other programs. It would be nice to
have, say, parts of a larger project quickly placed on a veroboard to do
some testing on the labtop before sending the stuff to production.
And there are many different types of veroboards out there, would be
nice to be able to autoplace and autoroute a couple of those.
SBM is also a bit tricky to work with, specially when you are used to
other EDA programs.
Vutrax has a procedure for laying out PCBs on Stripboard
(Veroboard) on circuits derived from schematics or netlist.
Available for Windows 95 through XP and Linux as an about 10MB download.
It includes an interactive tutorial & practice system and is free
up to 256 pins (surely enough for Stripboard), with many options
thereafter.
There is a supplementary Software Advice Note (SAN 206) obtainable
from the support section of the web sites, that outlines methods
available for handling Stripboard with or without schematic entry.
