What do you mean by "artwork"?<br>
I use kicad for designing pcb's, but I don't know what "artwork" is
supposed to be, and in what file format, etc.<br>

Hi i'm a newbie to pcb DIY.</p>
<p>
The only thing i know is i dont want anything to do with
chemicals or transfers etc.</p>
<p>
I have the pcb artwork , and the board sizes.</p>
<p>
The artwork will need some mods to allow for new component
profiles---pots , and will need scaling. </p>
<p>
Can anyone suggest a program thats newbie friendly-----this is
a hobbie and more than likely</p>
<p>
a one off.</p>
<p>
Thanks</p>
