TARGET 3001! is a CAD computer program[2] for EDA and PCB (printing circuit board) design,[3][4] developed by Ing.-Büro (en: engineering office) Friedrich in Germany.[5][6] This software application has been available since 1992[update] (for 32 years) and operates on Microsoft Windows. It supports the design of electronic schematics, PCBs, and device front panels. The software is available in English, German and French.
It is possible to use Target 3001! on Linux systems[7] with the assistance of Wine, a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Unix-like operating systems. This setup has been tested with Ubuntu 11.04 (64-bit).
A notable feature of Target 3001! is its ability to support reverse engineering. Users can derive a circuit drawing from a photograph of an existing circuit board through the traced layout. A special branch of the program is the ASIC Designer, which allows design of integrated circuits.
The company offer a free version of the service for non-commercial use,[8][9] which is limited to 250 connection pins or pads on two copper layers.[5][10][6][11] The PCB manufacturer PCB-Pool and Conrad Electronic provide a free unlimited version, that generates only printed output or output for PCB-Pool and Conrad's PCB service. Commercial versions with all features are available.
