Hi I use winqcad for both schematic capture and PCB work. The interface is a bit different but is easy to learn. I have done many boards with it and the autorouter has never failed to complete a board for me. You can download a free version which does small boards. You can also do larger boards but the program will not print them or create the Gerber files if the board is too large. http://www.winqcad.com/ I use Alberta Printed Circuits for the boards mostly because they are just a few minutes drive from me. Their quality is first rate, I'm not familiar with other prices, I am usually in a hurry and they can get me prototype boards within 24 hours. You can email or FTP the Gerber files to them, they also supply a small program that will assemble your files into a ZIP and send it to them for you. http://www.apcircuits.com/ Dave ----- Original Message ----- To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public."
