Thank you very much, practically all the videos on YouTube show this software, however, they are 7 years old or even more years old, so this software is no longer the same. Your video is literally a treasure for me! Thank you very much!

Thank You for making this wonderful video.

WOW! This software does really have all I need! Thank you for your tutorial

Just wanted to give a huge thanks. I see tutorials out there but a lot of them either try and teach me wayyy too much or don't even have the same version so when I click on things they do completely different things.

Really nice guide for getting started in Circuitmaker. Thanks

Two Questions:
1. It appears that I'll have to buy a computer capable of running CircuitMaker. CircuitMaker's minimum system specifies TWO high-resolution monitors, but you are only using one. What is the other monitor for, and is it needed?
2. My applications require a ground plane, or at least a layer where unused space is interconnected, but I didn't see an option for this. Is this possible with CircuitMaker?
Thanks.
Steve

Do you know if you can install a library, or are you just stuck with that generic library

Would be nice to have new project under project tab.

bro really made a tutorial using the auto router 💀 C1 is connected to GND on both sides

[harrybond]

The schematic looks like crap, I've tried to use circuit maker, it's horrible

you cut off tons of steps. not cool, bro!
