Top 15 DIYLC Alternative and Similar Softwares | May 2024

DIY Layout Creator (DIYLC in short) is freeware drawing tool developed with help of a large online community of DIY electronics enthusiasts. It incorporates many ideas that came from people using older versions of the application. The goal is to provide a simple interface and enough power to let the user draw schematics, board/chassis layouts and guitar wiring diagrams quickly and without a steep learning curve.
platform independence, will run on any machine having Java JRE/JDK 1.6.0_10 or newer
easy to use interface, most of the operations can be done using mouse
draws schematics, board layouts and chassis layouts
high flexibility, has the API to allow plug-ins and new components to be added without much trouble
improved performance and reduced memory consumption compared to the previous versions
save default values for each property of a component individually
group components together and treat them as one, e.g. move, edit or delete
export the output to image, PDF or printer
export PCB trace mask suitable for toner transfer
create a Bill of Materials as a part of the project or export it to few different file formats
zoom in/out feature
configurable grid spacing on the project level
auto update checks for new versions
import files created with older versions of the application
create and load project templates
[pending] integration with online project library, sharing your drawings with ease ...
