There used to be a forum on the vutrax web site(Look under latest news).I havent checked it for a while but i seem to remember it wasnt widely used. We use vutrax at work but i soon gave up with this symbol/schematic link up.I tend to use the package as a 'taping table' these days(ok for small pcbs) and use autocad for schematics.
