This has a lot of potential, but doesn't seem to be functional yet. That is to say, a partially functional EDA software is pretty much useless.

I just tried to work up part of a board I'm designing right now using the interface, and was stopped dead when the IC I needed wasn't available. When I tried to input the IC footprint specs, the proper (standard) footprint wasn't available, only one that is "almost right". Then when I tried to continue anyhow, the interface told me to select pads to map them, but nothing was clickable. This kind of thing is a complete show stopper. I can't adopt a piece of software without knowing that in the worst case I can design my footprints manually, in a reliable way.

Minor nit picks: - Disabling the context menu is fairly irritating

- Many of the buttons ("create", "next") take a very long time to do anything and so they appear broken

- If you're going to use Octopart as your parts DB (which is a great idea) why not use an interface more similar to theirs for fitlering, instead of making me scroll through 5000 components to find the one with the right package?

EDIT: If I am simply missing some key piece of the interface, do let me know.
