What CAD-software is with open .sch format ?

the cad software creates the wires himself

Task is to create the .SCH-file by our app, we cannot rule by the CAD-software.


represented as a list of points
No, each component must be created, creating rectangle (as my simplest abstract solution), pins.
Each net must be created by creating wires (that must be drawn _somehow_ depending on several rules as i described above). Or by text labels placed at the same coordinates of the pins, as my solution.
KiCAD also requires initially to create the library built-in into the sch file.

No, i'm sure to draw lots of wires in the schematic programmatically = automatically for user - it's impossible if by some "simple" way. It's the same hard routing task like in the PCB tracks routing.

Hmmm I just re-dowloaded easyEDA, and am looking at the created file with notepad++... The wires are indeed created by defining them, although I can't exactly pin the format used... I'm be sending you a PM shortly...

did you manage the export part?

Additionally no, basically the abstract symbols with the correct net labels are exported, as before OK, Altium and KiCAD.
But after recent editing updates - now i think that the export here maybe is not so important - much important to study, see the PCB, track by track.
And the main - published the beta version to get any feedback - maybe this app is not needed :) (only for me sometimes)

That app is every electronics enthusiast dream! I often trued to reverse engineer some random malfunctioning pcb, but the lack of an east way to do it just threw me down

When and if you need to reverse - try this, any feedback is welcome to update it making process more easy.
Free registration as beta-tester is not a problem :)

Avast doesn't seem to like it very much...
Why does the app need internet to function properly? so you can track usage...


Free registration as beta-tester is not a problem = Yes please!!! how?

Also, you should consider a setup procedure in english, or localizable

PM me the PC ID from "Help" dialog. Here it's also the question, if device_id is detected OK...
I don"t seem to be getting a device id...
