There is a free version of their PCB layout tool, but it seems to be
limited to 300 pins & 50 components, it's CADSTAR Express

In addition you are also able to "view" samples of CADSTAR Exchange∗,
a 230,000 component on-line library.

So I guess it's not as good as it first sounded.

Funny, that's how it always is, if it sounds too good to be true, it
generally is!
