Hello Netland! Anyone ever heard of a PD CAD-like program for the construction of PC-boards? If you have any hints as where to find such a gem, please email me. Thanks in advance - Tobbe, tobbe@me.chalmers.se (Gothenburg, front page of Sweden)

Tobbe's posting started me wondering, what kind of PCB layout programs
are available on the Amiga? I am currently in the process of assemblying
various pieces parts (assemblers, eprom programmer etc.) for some projects
using micro-processors. If possible once I get the project designed and
tested on a bread board I want to layout a circuit board for it. I have
done this in the past using a kit from Radio Shack, drawing the traces on
by hand and using stickers to protect the copper from the acid (or whatever
the solution was that etched the copper away).
If there was some way to use a PCB program to make a template of some
kind my boards would look much better and would probably be much smaller.
So could I get some suggestions on commercially available programs that
might do the job? I don't have a fancy plotter just a simple dot matrix
printer and a daisy wheel printer so I need something that can output a
plot to something other than a plotter.
Thanks!
