Autodesk stopped support for Eagle as of June 7, 2026. If you design with Eagle, you're looking for a replacement. Autodesk points you to Fusion 360, a mechanical-first tool with electronics added on that moves your projects into its cloud. If you want a dedicated PCB design solution and control over what stays local, try Altium Develop.
Altium Develop gives you professional PCB design in Altium Designer: schematic capture, PCB layout, rules-driven design, native 3D, simulation and analysis, multiboard, and harness design — in one environment where schematic and layout stay in step.
You don't rebuild from scratch. The Import Wizard in Altium Designer converts Eagle schematics, boards, and libraries (.sch, .brd, .lbr) into Altium's format in a few minutes. Review the converted design for any cleanup, as with any import, and your original Eagle files stay accessible in Eagle. (Eagle XML-format files, versions 6.4 through 9.4.)
Design from locally stored projects if that's how you work — you're not required to move every project into the cloud to use Altium Develop. When a project benefits from shared review, component data, BOM, or release coordination, the Develop Workspace connects that work. You decide what connects and when.
ECAD-MCAD CoDesign keeps board and enclosure aligned across the major mechanical tools — Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo Parametric, and SOLIDWORKS — so design changes don't get lost swapping files back and forth.
Keep revisions, review comments, component and BOM data, and release outputs tied to the project state they belong to — so it's clear what changed, which revision is current, and what went to fab. When you want others involved, reviewers can comment and participate without needing a design-authoring seat.


Design is only part of shipping a product.
Your team also defines requirements, sources parts, reviews designs, delivers releases, and manages costs — often across multiple people and roles. Altium Develop connects those steps so less falls through the cracks between handoffs.

Link requirements directly to design items so nothing gets lost between the spec and the board — even when the person writing the spec isn't the person designing the board
Find, validate, and manage components with supplier data and approved component lists built into your workflow. Procurement sees what engineering selected and why.
Mechanical engineers, procurement, and manufacturing partners see designs directly in the browser — no Altium license needed. Comments and markups happen on the actual design, not in a separate thread.
Generate and manage release packages (Gerbers, BOMs, assembly docs) with revision tracking so nothing ships without a record and your CM gets a clean handoff every time.
Version-controlled design history with visual diffs and an audit trail so the whole team knows what changed, when, and why.
Design whatever you want. Treat it as a workflow
experiment, not a commitment.
