Osmond PCB is a planning tool for all those who design circuit-boards. OsmondCocoa updates over 10 years of development with the latest Cocoa framework to bring you a feature rich tool:
  • Virtually unlimited board sizes
  • Virtually unlimited number of board layers
  • Virtually unlimited number of parts
  • Spatial resolution down to 10 nanometer
  • Concurrent support for both Imperial and Metric units
  • All angle routing
  • Rubber-band traces
  • Rats Nest Layer
  • Variable size grid
  • Support for both through-hole and surface mount parts
  • Circular, rectangular, and
What's New
Version 1.1.16:
  • Added the Export -> Solder Paste Design... menu command which creates a new Osmond design from the current design to permit finer control over the creation of solder paste templates. The new design retains from the original design only surface mount pads, which can then be modified or augmented as needed.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when exporting a PostScript file of a very large board.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause portions of a rotated rectangular pad to not draw correctly.
  • When searching for a part, real parts will be searched before text parts.
  • When exporting Gerber files, a warning will be given if parts are found outside the working area.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the Change Pin dialog to not display the correct pad types on inner layers when copying from an existing pin. The same problem also existed with the New Pin dialog.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the Vector Font or Apple Font selection buttons to be incorrectly set in the Text dialog.
  • Fixed a bug that could in rare cases cause connected pins to display as unconnected.
  • The Text tool can now be used when editing part types.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a crash after replacing a surface mount part that has connected traces with a through hole part.

Robert Zusman has provided a library of Osmond part types converted from Autotrax libraries (~88K), (rzusman@amug.org ).
Also, a large library of Osmond part type converted from other sources is available here (~640K).
Graham Hinton has provided two DesignWorks forms that produce Osmond compatible Part List and Net List information from a DesignWorks design. The first is for flat designs and the second is for heirarchic designs. A modified version of the second script, provided by Don Heavener, is available here.

Definitely the best PCB layout program for the Mac.
Ferget about Eagle, it's a completely non-intuitive program that should never have made it to Mac.
-But Osmond works quite well. If you have trouble finding out how to make your first PCB, please follow the tutorials; after you've done so, you'll find Osmond PCB quite easy! :)
Definitely recommended.
I couldn't resist buying it, although I haven't gone past the limits yet. ;)

Excellent app!
Developer was very quick and helpful when I had questions.
I have made products using this app with no problems from the pcb house.]
DXF input works for most of my existing drawings from other apps.

A superb, yet simple-to-use app that (in my view) blows away anything I've used before on Mac or Windoze platforms, and it's fairly small documentation and physical size disguises Osmond's real power and capability.

I agree that Mr. Chavez is very responsive to suggestions and feedback etc.. So much so in fact that I feel guilty about pestering him again to ask why - after some months - the file icons reverted to 'generic' when all other app icons are unaffected (probably something I did anyway...)

HIGHLY recommended!
[Version 1.0.2]
