Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Which PCB CAD for someone entering the job \tmarket?

I just joined this group with the recommendation of people in some other
groups, so I'm sorry if someone else has said the same thing i have
recently.

I have had fairly good luck with Eagle so far. Although, I was using the
premium version my boss had paid for. I didn't even know there was an auto
route tool. So I guess if you know the ins and the out of any software that
would make it useful. Now I know how to better exploit it, although it did
seem like it needed to be kicked in the right direction pretty frequently to
get what I wanted done. It is also very easy to lay out traces in the
schematic side and have them not actually connect, just sit next to each
other...pretty useless in my mind.
