>>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.
