[sdiy] What's the best freeware schematic capture and PCB layout software

[tamedogs at wildcats.com]

Hi,

I have a number of 45 year old blue line schematics that I want to capture
on the computer before they disintegrate or fade away entirely from age.

Using search engine, I see a number of freeware schematic and PCB layout
packages available.

Is the any consensus here as to what is the best software to use?

 

I downloaded the first package I came across (KiCad). I wonder if something
else might be better.

Any thoughts?

 

Dana
