Introduction

EasyEDA Pro currently has two versions, EasyEDA Pro and EasyEDA Pro Standard.

EasyEDA Pro is a brand-new version that the EasyEDA Pro team has spent a year working on. It will be launched at the end of 2019. Please treat it as a new tool. Some functions and loose restrictions of the EasyEDA Pro standard version may not necessarily be provided.

The data of EasyEDA Pro does not communicate with the data of EasyEDA Pro Standard Edition. Please refer to the import chapter at the bottom to import the project file of the Standard Edition.

EasyEDA Pro

• The function is more powerful, the legacy problems of the standard version will be solved, and the new PCB drawing will be solved.
• The PCB is based on the WebGL engine, which can smoothly provide PCB design with tens of thousands of pads, and various constraints will be strengthened to provide more powerful rule management.
• Various constraints will also be strengthened, providing more powerful rule management, etc.
• More powerful device selection function, you do not need to switch back and forth between LCSC Mall and EasyEDA Pro editor frequently.
• Provides the concept of device, device = symbol + footprint + 3D model + attribute, only allows placing the device in the schematic/PCB canvas. Enhance library reuse.
• Supports hierarchical drawing, can support up to 500 schematic pages, and PCB supports 50,000 components and can still zoom, pan and route smoothly.
• Supports multiple single-board designs in one project.
• More powerful DXF import and export, more powerful PDF export.
• Built-in auto-routing function, the standard version requires an external auto-routing plug-in.

EasyEDA Pro is still under development, and some of the original functions of EasyEDA Pro Standard Edition will be gradually provided.

EasyEDA Standard Edition

• EasyEDA standard version project was established in 2011, the first overseas version EasyEDA was launched, and the domestic version EasyEDA was officially launched in 2017
• Some features and relaxed restrictions of EasyEDA Standard Edition may not be available in Professional Edition.
• The standard version of EasyEDA Std is based on SVG, and it will lag on some larger boards.
• The standard version of EasyEDA Std will mainly focus on fixing bugs, and the major functions will not be added.

data:

• The data of EasyEDA Pro is not interoperable with the data of EasyEDA Standard Edition. Data from the Standard Edition is provided to be migrated to the Professional Edition. There is a migration entry on the start page of the Professional Edition.
• Support importing Standard Edition to Professional Edition. Please see the Import section at the bottom for importing standard version project files.

Library file:

• EasyEDA Pro provides a device concept, device = symbol + footprint + 3D model + attribute parameters, to achieve high reuse, only allow devices to be placed in the schematic canvas.

• Standard version cannot reuse symbol library.

• The professional version does not support schematic modules and PCB modules.

Introduction to File Types of EasyEDA Pro

The file type suffixes of EasyEDA are predominantly json. In EasyEDA Pro, numerous file types have been expanded, and the json suffix is no longer employed for storing engineering documents. The following are some file types exclusive to the Professional Edition.

File Suffix	File Type	Remarks
zip	Compressed Package File	Such as engineering compressed package, Gerber compressed package, PDF compressed package, etc. The specific type needs to be determined by the file name prefix.
elib	Offline Client Component Library File	It stores various library files, such as devices, symbols, packages, etc.
eprj	Offline Client Project File	It is a project file dedicated to the client and can be opened directly in the offline mode of the client.
efoo	Package File	The package library file within the engineering compressed package.
esym	Symbol File	The symbol library file within the engineering compressed package.
epan	Panel File	The panel file within the engineering compressed package.
esch	Schematic File	The schematic file within the engineering compressed package.
epcb	PCB File	The PCB file within the engineering compressed package.
ecop	Copper Pour File	The copper pour path file within the engineering compressed package.
eins	Instance Value File	The storage file of the instance value attribute of the schematic within the engineering compressed package.
efon	Font File	The font path file within the PCB within the engineering compressed package.
epanm	Panel Manufacturing File	The panel manufacturing file exported from the panel.
enet	Netlist File	The netlist file exported from the schematic of the EDA Professional Edition of JLCPCB.
json	Configuration File	Various configuration files exported by the editor. The specific type depends on the file name prefix.
