I too think you'll find Eagle a much easier program to use and it is quick to learn. Has many wonderful user supported scripts and libraries and it's own C-like scripting language. The Free version has a limit on board size but for most home users it will be more than enough. I use Eagle a lot at home and Altium Designer at work. Altium is able to import Eagle files but has a very hefty price tag and is complex to learn due to it's overwhelming variety of features and attempt to be a complete project solution. Which it does a very good job at but at the cost of complexity... Eagle also makes it easy to create your own components if you cannot find an existing library.
Rather than investing in TC15 for Schematic or PCB CAD I would suggest using Eagle Freeware or Single user version.
