Anything above 4 layers is a pain, especially that it lacks more advanced tooling (length matching? Impedance control? Forget it.).32-bit microcontrollers are becoming more and more common among designers as the majority of contemporary electronics require more processing power, memory, and peripherals. 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.
