Hi, new to the group,
I've wondered about using a CAD package like AutoCad to get large planes of copper for switch mode circuits, rather than using a PCB package, not sure if you can fill polygons in AutoCAD though.
I know it's not an industry standard, but what about freePCB?
http://www.freepcb.com/I've had a play with it and it seems quite good - and it's free, compatible with TinyCAD, and generates gerbers (which I thought was the universal way to send a design to a manufacture?)

Not sure if anyone has mentioned DipTrace, give it a try, you can
download a free version to try it out.
So far a like it.
