It's quick and easy to design a full PCB in Flux. In fact, you can do it under 15 minutes. No specialized knowledge required. Let me know if you'd like me to design a PCB for you.

Where is the AI that Flux advertises makes it so quick and easy? This isn’t much different than any other PCB layout software. Thanks for the demo. You know that tool well.

I coppied your circuit and made a pcb for it in under 5 minutes using Pcad2002 - a 23 year old software package. It does everything Flux does, just not the 3D view at the end. Pcad also auto links in real time between the circuit layout and the pcb layout. It has the design rules. It even has a auto router, thow that usualy needs manual touch up afterwards.

Can the final layout be printed so toner transfer can be used to print the board?

Like most other programs, it is merely 15 minutes AFTER you learn the program and the capabilities. Otherwise, the actual time could be pretty long as you stumble through trying to fine what you need to do what you want to do... But it could be a good program after you learn enough to work fluently with it...

Excellent tools and introduction! However, I encountered an issue with the simulator but can't find any useful help from th internet. In my environment, I can't see any metric in the simulator even though I replaced all parts with those with simulation models. My simulation menu always showed "No metrics to simulate". May I have your comment or help? Thanks.

Flow has a very fluid, clean and attractive interface. It's smooth and responsive, especially for a browser-based front-end. Unfortunately, it has some glaring usability issues. For some common operations, it requires adding mystery meat properties which hampers workflow and frustrates users expecting to easily find them. Rotating, excluding simulation components from the PCB, sizing, and positioning shouldn't require scrolling through a list of parameters and adding them to the palette. They should be accessible by default. Moreover, what Flux calls "layout rules" for some of these parameters differs from what PCB manufacturers and other software packages commonly define as them as. Layout rules are defined as a list of PCB design constraints specified by either the manufacturer or critical electrical considerations, not an arbitrary set of software features. It's also unclear how they differ from "properties" as they appear to be the same thing, nor is it clear how they are "rules." With an abundance of EDA tools on the market, Flux has an uphill battle. The web-only interface will be a deal killer for many engineers and hobbyists who prefer desktop based applications. It surprising Flux took this path considering the numerous failed web-based apps such as On-Shape.

Thanks for your input. Yes, Flux is quite different from other EDA tools, which I think is a good thing. I believe they went with a browser-based app in order to keep the software up to date for everyone and to serve more people. For example, I use macOS which means I can't use many desktop-based EDA tools. I get why it's frustrating to scrolling through a list of properties unless you know what you're looking for. You say it should be accessible by default, but I'm not sure what you mean. I guess the alternative is having a button for everything, but then you're looking at a wall of buttons. I'm curious if you have a better solution in mind. I would encourage you to join the slack community and share your ideas and experience join.slack.com/t/fluxcommunity/shared_invite/zt-1ko2w0hg3-kGAboZ7PNkzvDURp0QiQeg

"When your product needs an instruction manual, you have already failed" - Elon If I was going to make a new circuit diagram / PCB software I would make it as simple as possible to use. Way too much to learn to casually jump in and make a product using this and all the other packages I've tried. the parts in the library are very limited. How to get a part from a supplier into the library? Footprint? Simulation? Very few parts have the info to be valid in the simulation. How to simulate a speaker? A Piezo mic? An LM386? It's a long way from easy to use.
