Re: [sdiy] autotrax eda circuit board designer

My computer crashes at least once a day, but when I'm running Autotrax, it's stable as a rock. I could use it for hours with no problem and i's a good fun too :)
Although mine is old DOS version (the best operating system M$ made, probably because they didn't write it by themselves).
If you use this "new" windows autotrax that someone posted recently info about, I don't know.
If you don't have jack symbol, make your own. All my PCB library is selfmade, and about 50 schematic symbols too. It's not difficult.
In DOS version you simply draw pads/traces, define block, and add to library. For schematic elements there's SLM.exe (Schematic Library Manager).
