GB: PCB design software download special for DIYAUDIO

Hi Nigel. I downloaded the software a while back (pcbcad51_1.exe) to check it out in demo mode but I was unable to get past the opening menu. Whenever I clicked on something I received an exception error (see below) and the program closed. I'm running Win 7 64 bit on a laptop. Any Ideas?

I saw you released an updated version. Is there a demo version I can try again? I'm very interested in checking it out and purchasing if I can get it to work.

The exception has been fixed. I was trying to access a file from the wrong directory after a "quick" change.
The directory was on my pc so the error never showed up with me !
All sorted now with some new updates.
Download demo version from Murton-Pike Systems PCBCAD51 pcb design software - Murton-Pike Systems PCBCAD51 PCBCAD PCB CAD printed circuit design software.

Many thanks Nigel, 720 downloaded and and installed. First impression is very positive so congrats for this achievement.
I can see many months of entertainment to make this C19 lockdown time pass quickly and productively.


Stay safe in this horrid time.

I spend far too many hours designing pcb's using PCBCAD720.
Keeps me out of mischief.

You stay safe too. At least you cant catch anything off a download.
