I am there too. I have used ExpressPCB because it is actually very fast and
easy for small projects.
I also use the schematic capture for illustrations (when I just need a
schematic, no PWB) because it also makes decent looking schematics without
fuss. Creating component models bot both schematic a

It depends on what you need PCBs for. I've used ExpressPCB for years.
They have proprietary layout software, all very manual, no routing, and
free. It will also do multilayer, vias, fills, etc. The rea

Has anyone had any Gerber file compatibility issues with batch pcb
manufacturers? For example, pad sizes or trace widths not matching what is

Have you looked at Kicad? It is used by both professionals and hobbyists,
and being open source, is not reliant on RS to update it.
Now there is a decent open source PCB layout program, I would not suggest
anyone learn a new proprietary package unless there were very good
reasons, such as an
Another program that is supposed to be very nice is DIPTRACE. Their free
version is limited by pin count... Eagle's free version is limited by board
size. Eagle has more community support than the other packages.

When I tried Design Spark PCB I wasn't impressed, though I'm told it has got
better in the intervening year or so.
An example: most PCB design packages put down multi opamps/logic chips as
individual pieces with 1 gate/opamp per piece (e.g. U16A, U16B, U16C, U16D),
but DS PCB placed a single gl

This is indirectly pertinent to the group since I am designing a PCB for
the HP-419A and Fluke 845A modifications. Does anyone have any
experience/comments on the Design Spark PCB design package? Is is a viable
package for hobbyist use?
thanks,
