Here's my experience with AutoTrax:
I tried Autotrax, and it crashed on me a few times, and I lost my work. I'm
using Windows XP Professional, so maybe it's more stable on other versions
of Windows. I also got the impression that its parts libraries were very
limited, although maybe I didn't search hard enough for them.
In the end I switched back to Eagle. Admittedly Eagle crashed on me a few
times also at first, but once I set it to use "vector fonts always", it has
been rock solid. This was suggested on their support forum. The support is
excellent, even if you are using the free version.
