Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably powerful CAD/CAM program for PCB layout? (I've tried PCB Express).
Has anyone tried Eagle?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

I have been using Dip Trace lately.
And then there is Design Spark that has just had a recent upgrade to V6.0.

did you really search before starting yet another "what PCB sw" thread?
if so how is this thread suposed to be different enough to justify?

Seriously, among the free and unrestricted ones, Kicad and DesignSpark PCB are the best.
For simple circuits, FreePCB is also very simple to use.

Whatever free one you do pick, make sure it can do at least 4 layers.
PCB design is CAD not CAM just to be picky🙂

Yes, I like Kicad too, I forgot to mention that one and I still use Circuitmaker2000 with Traxmaker as well. 😉
