    Hi Tom --

    I have tried a lot of these free EDA packages and have found this one to be the
    easiest one to learn. The name of the package is DipTrace. The software interface in
    DipTrace is very nice. I worked with one EDA freeware that had some tech support due to
    the PCB board manufacture had an ordering interface built into the software. After days
    of questions and many hours of working with it I never finished my board layout. Once
    I found the DipTrace I was able to do my board layout within a few hours with no email
    questions to anybody. You may want to try the DipTrace. If you only need to draw a
    schematic I have found TinyCad to be a very good freeware schematic package. Although
    DipTrace has a good package also.

      Thanks James,

      We actually use sprint layout, it is perfect for our needs here at TeslagenX http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/sprint-layout.html I am always coming upon resources and wanted to share. I will check out DipTrace.
