Sprint-Layout 6 includes a basic autorouter.
Sprint Layout is a Windows-based PCB design application developed by the German company Abacom. Unlike schematic-driven tools, Sprint Layout focuses purely on the physical board layout. Version 6.0 represents a mature iteration of the software, balancing a shallow learning curve with features typically reserved for expensive EDA suites.
The "English Full" version refers to the complete, unrestricted software package with an English user interface, as opposed to the original German release or limited demo versions. The full version removes restrictions on board size, component count, and output file generation.
