# horizon-eda(1)

EDA layout and schematic application

## NAME

horizon-eda - EDA layout and schematic application

## SYNOPSIS

**horizon-eda** -h, --help \| --help-all \| --help-gapplication \| --help-gtk \| --diplay=\<DISPLAY\>\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the **horizon-eda** command.

**horizon-eda** is an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool for circuit board design. It manages the full design flow from schematic entry to gerber export. The main differentiator from KiCAD is a different (more sane) part library design. It is quite new software in 2018 so may have rough edges but is already very capable.\
 Notable features:

- •

  Sane library management

- •

  Unified editor for everything from symbol to board

- •

  Netlist-aware schematic editor

- •

  KiCad's awesome interactive router

- •

  Lag- and glitch-free rendering

- •

  Rule-based DRC

- •

  Undo/redo

- •

  Copy/paste for some objects

- •

  Builds and runs on Linux and Windows
