PCB design

Hi,

Does any one know of any easy to use PCB CAD programs.

There are several packages which suit basic PCB design, a program called PCB Wizard comes to mind and you can import Crocodile Clips (Simulation program) circuits into it. It can do single and doublesided.

Here is a link to lots of packages including freeware and trial versions Here .

Let me know if you have any problems creating the artwork or etching etc. .

if u know ur circiut diagram u can draw it on "Ranger 2XL"

and place all your componants thast you have in the circiuit diagram in a fixed area (you draw it) and click a button and it auto routes the wires onto the pcb templte it also suports multiply side, layered pbc's
