Please let me know how you draw your's out.
I am aware of Eagle, PCB123 and CAM350.
I need to be able to custom draw the pads, in Metric, to a resolution of 0.01mm, as the board will be populated with fine pitched SMT.
The easer it is to use, the better - I don't have the time for another vertical learning curve. |

If you want quick learning curve, try Pulsonix.
If you want the best, try Expedition or Allegro. |

Hi John,
If you want on the cheap and quickly on the run (almost no learning curve):
Sprint-Layout
It is just a plain PCB drawing program, I would not recommend it for big designs.
Cheers ;) |

Thanks everyone.
Once I've printed my boards out, would you suggest that I genuinely develop and etch them, or have any of you tried Press N' Peel?
I saw a few websites with really neat results on them using Press N' Peel, and it seems to save the effort of UV lamps, as I already have a HL-1450 laser printer.
The first board in question is a very small SMD switchmode converter. So, I will most likely produce a negative of the board to maximise the material left for conduction; only etching away the brakes. |
