[sdiy] Eagle for PCB Layout

[Chris Juried]

I have been using KiCad and Eagle. What I am wondering, out of all available EDAs, which does the group consider the most user friendly? I find that Eagle has an excellent Auto router and a vast library of components/footprints readily available. KiCad is an excellent tool as well, however, I am not an advocate of breaking up footprints and component libraries. Eagle tends to act smoother when making connections in both Schematic view and manual board routing. Thoughts?

 I do, it is not perfect, but pretty damn close.Easy to use (imho).The component definition procedure is mind boggling, however. And, if you want bigger boards than eurocard, you need to fork out a lot of cash.Also, it would be nice if they'd figure out a better default component placement when you start the layout, and already have done the circuit capture.

Hi Group,
Who is currently utilizing Eagle for their PCB layouts? If not, what are you currently using?
