To Roger:
Thanks for your advice. I have tried this software, too.
It seems that it cannot auto-route on a breadboard, which is the goal of our 
software.
Have figured out that fuction?

To Mike:
The software can auto-route on a breadboard. However, it hadn't done it as 
expected. As is shown in the picture, the result is correct but hardly can be 
regarded as pleasant.So the software still needs some improvements.

1.difficult for freshman to use.

2.function of breadboard included in the Education Edition,which means that you 
should install the Education Edition license in addition.

3.not offer the function of  autorouting in the breadboard.

4.the software doesn't run fluently when I use the function of 'show 3D 
breadboard' in my notebook.
