Anything above 4 layers is a pain, especially that it lacks more advanced tooling (length matching? Impedance control? Forget it.).It’s hard to find anything better for designing, analyzing, and developing electronic circuits.

Since then there's almost no maintenance - we even asked NI reps for that.ĮDIT: I've done one 8-layer design in Ultiboard. Multisim is really a dead end, especially that last major version was released in 2015. Only option that we found was to import Gerbers into Altium and try to reverse-engineer them there (with help of original designs) or to redraw the whole design.ĭo yourself a favor and use something else :) KiCad, EAGLE, (mentioned) Altium, PADS, CircuitStudio. We were really interested in one (to get out of the Multisim hole), as we didn't want to redo 4- and 8-layer designs from scratch. For newer versions (that use a compressed file format) there were no importers available. They might claim so, but for older (uncompressed) format of Ultiboard < 9.
