Homebrew PCBs

Steve,
      I bought mine in the store for $30. If you want the scan of
the box let me know because there are several versions out there. 
Mine came with a video tutorial. The free download one works just as 
good. The online version has a bug in it. If you use snap grids and  
you go out of the program and save it the drawing. The next time you 
go in the program the first snap will be off a little. I would go 
back in draw a line and then delete it. The next lines would ok after 
that. I only use Turbocad for drawing PCBs so I am only using the X-Y 
planes. The Z is set in the DXF to Gcode converter. There is also an 
other program out there that Alan uses. I never mention it because 
there is a guy floating around who steals a wrecks message threads 
just to hawk his product! Everytime a friend of mine would start to 
help someone learn to draw he would hijack the thread pushing his 
product. He would get upset when you mention the Tutorial in Turbocad.
His product may be better but his attitude is not!

                                            John
