How to make pcb layout
 

I need some tutorial using software tool to make some pcb layout, when I'm using diptrace I can't using tools attached pattern and make it to single layer,when I'm using eagle I can't arrange the component to the right places to make me easier making the trace. Any sugestion or what exactly tool for me as a beginer... Help are really needed please...

Try express pcb. It´s free, search in Google for it.

I was try many software including expresspcb but diptrace and eagle are often to pratice,at last time I try sprint layout but don't know how to printed to paper... I'm beginer for doing like this... When I ask grandpa google the result was always just tutorial make a flip flop or any minimalis component,the schematics want to build was more than 50 component,what must I do???

Sprint Layout is the easiest software to use by far. I'm struggling to understand that you could not see how to print your work from within the program.

I try to print it but the result is so tiny diferent than I expected,any idea what must I do???

On the print screen at the left and bottom choice, make sure on Scaling you click next to 1:1. This setting is default, you must have changed it and that's why you see small.

Thank for your advice richie00boy... Maybe later I'll be try... Cause I don't have printer,my device was eror the catridge was dry... :) Then any sugestion how to make bitmap or jpg file? In sprint layout,so I can printed a lot of pictures in single papper???

Download and install Bulzip PDF. It's free and installs like a 'printer'.
Then when you print, select the Bullzip printer and you can select PDF, JPG, PNG, whatever. The result is a file in that format. You can then or later print it to a real printer on paper.

Edit: works with ANY program, not just PCB layout.

@janneman... Thanks for your input,i will try that... :)

Send me your email. I put together a few years back a two parts article on how to make PCB. My email is bergeron.syl@videotron.qc.ca

I would suggest that you use the free version of Eagle PCB. It is one of the best, and a lot of design on this forum use it.

Bye.
