Hello,
Several decades ago, we made a PCB with a pen, then pellets and tape. Today we can make a nice PCB with software.I used simple free software, where you have to connect all the tracks manually and place the components yourself.
That¡¯s what I used to feed my Ubitx power.
Some software are only in demonstration and do not allow to print or save.With a little time, I focused on Kicad.
It is true that this software is not constrained and it is free.At first, I thought it was fantastic software and making a pcb would be simple.
So I watched several videos....
I thought we could have imported a diagram from a pdf for example, and not possible.
So we have to recreate everything manually, the diagram, then choose the components.
After that, it remains to create the PCB. I told myself, that with all the informations it will propose me one, that to rigor I could modify.
No, there too none of that.
You must also choose everything manually.? Only positive thing, you have a 3d view of your circuit.
I may be wrong, but I have this observation.
What do you use to create your PCBs?
