Post by thread:PCB\EE cad software

Does anyone have any suggestions for PCB and cad shareware/freeware. I'm a student, so I don't have a lot of money to put into professional programs. My only requirements is that it runs under win95 and has all the basic parts in it's standard library (R,C,7400 series, OP-AMPs, etc). Stuart Allman spam_OUTstudioTakeThisOuThalcyon.com

I have a demo version of Ultimate Technologys Schematic & PCB program. This particular DEMO is DOS-based but I like it. Unfortunately you cannot make PCB:s with more than 200 component pins, (but you can make many PCB:s and connect them :-) ) A BIG plus is their included Windows based autorouter. It's so easy to make the final PCB layout ... Maybe you can get a free demo from Ultimate ... I got my demo from Ultimate via some sort of "EDA survey". Ultimate wanted to know what kind of PCB-software we were using and why and many more questions.

EasyTrax (filename "EASYFREE.ZIP") is a nice little carrot from Protel Tech- nology; after they came up with their Windows PCB layout software, they released their earlier DOS software as freeware. Excellent program with only a few omissions (no convenient way to get tracks of non-standard widths, no autorouter). I don't know who has it FTP'able; I got it from the AP Circuits BBS.
