[sdiy] Pcb layout software - what do you use?

[John Loffink]

I use Labcenter's Proteus and love it.  It is far from free however.

Don't both with Autotrax EDA.  It is a POS that has never worked in the 4-5
years that it's been promoted.

I have ordered PCBs from PCBcart.  Their service was fine, delivered on
time.  PCB quality was good though registration of the drill holes could
have been a little tighter.  Still, not a show stopper for through hole
work.
