I use QCAD.
My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.
Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!

Man, there's so many choices out there. I have tried AutotraxEDA (which will soon be available on OSX apparently) on windows, and it sucked. Certain things caused it to crash completely without responding, and sometimes it would take a minute or two to startup, even though it apparently wasn't actually doing anything. AFAIK it's being developed by only one guy... he has a lot of faith in it, but it seems pretty terrible to me.
Eagle seems pretty wierd to me too - the only reason I wanted to learn it was because it runs on OSX.

I wonder if a commercial version of the express PCB suite is available, its super extra simple to learn, but its main drawback is that you cannot print the circuit, you only can send the circuit to them

Has anyone used Easy PC? The demo is seriously impressive. It costs around $450 USD, but if its as good as it looks, it may be worth it....
Looks like my PC will hang around for a few years to come....

EasyPC has been the Schematic/CAD Layout software of choice in this company for some twenty years... long before I ever came here... I can vouch for it.
It's nice to be able to enter a schematic, translate it to PCB and have the software maintain integrity and spacing throughout, then output to Gerber or Excellon, email them to almost any PCB fab house in the world, and have them make what you've created. Never fails. If you have the SPICE add-on's you can even simulate your design, or display it in 3D.

it's a bit much than this, when you set it to USD instead of the default GBPOriginally Posted by forgie

BUT it looks good. The full package is still cheaper than ORCAD, PCAD or PROTEL(now Altium Designer)

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

I'm in the process of starting a partnership company as well as a personal consulting business - I need to choose an electronics CAD package to learn, invest in it, and stick with it. I think EasyPC looks like by far the cheapest 'Pro' package. For what I need, this would appear to be an easy choice!
