Re: Free/Cheap PCB Design Tools?

I'm starting up a PCB projects with some engineer colleagues -- some
signal sources that we've had cobbled up in the lab for a while. We
don't have any project funding yet, and are currently doing our proof-
of-concept work prior to looking for some funding.

Understandably, we can't use the PCB tools provided by our respective
employers (conflict of interest and all), and given that even an
affordadable design tool costs as much as a good used car, we're
looking for some pointers on shareware or really-low-cost tools.

Which ones have you found to be effective? Which design tools have you
found to be capable of real commercial projects? Which ones should I
steer away from?

Thanks in advance for your help!


Try http://www.labcenter.co.uk

starts off inexpensive and is upgradable as you go. There are also evaluation versions.
