What do you draw your schematics with and use for PCB layout??

Hello Paul,

I have been using expresspcb.com's free SCHematic and PCB layout
software for over 15 years.

Their free software has a very easy learning curve...just plain
intuitive to draw schematics and do the PCB layout.

The GOTCHA is that expressPCB does not produce Gerber files for PCB
production...they force you to use their PCB production house...however...

I found someone that wrote a Windows Only software package that will
produce Gerber files from express PCB source files.

I used that software to produce the 5Watter PCBs...and they are beautiful.

Note that you must you an earlier version of expressPCB software...the
latest version will not work.

I can help anyone that wants to pursue this path for PCB
production...just email me in private.
