Kicad (www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad) is simply unbelievable open
source electronics CAD software. Many users report that it is better than
Eagle. It runs on Windows and Linux.

For boards, try www.ultimatepcb.com. Price, quality and delivery are
excellent.

Subject: [PIC] - Fabricating PCB boards

I will have 3 boards, 2 sided, to be etched and drilled, will be looking 
for 3 or 4 copies of each board. I have Autocad
that I have been working on the prototype boards which I have etched 
with moderate results using the laser printer iron on method. I would 
like to try having the boards fabricated out. Maximum size is 4" square. 
This is in the USA.

1: Suggestions on software to either convert the Autocad to Gerber and 
drill files, or use some other software to start with.

2: Suggestions on a house to fabricated the boards, including ones to 
stay away from.

Thanking in advance. :)
