I have used PCB123 and have to say that PCB Artist from Advanced Circuits is a much better, more professional product with superior features for part footprints. PCB Artist is downloadable for free at Advanced Circuits' web site at http://www.4pcb.com/ and gives you direct online access to submit your resulting CAD files to Advanced Circuits for fab (and assembly if you want). There prices are good and the tech support I have received from both PCB Artist and Advanced Circuits has been outstanding.
