Hi All
Anyone know of a good Free Student easy to use PCB Design Software Program that has schematic and layout component placement and auto routing
I have tried Eagle and Dip Trace but just cannot get the hang of then to complicated, I do not want to spend months learning just to use the software
Any ideas lads

FreePCB. Mostly driven with key stroke combinations.

Hi Mike
Cheers, I will have a look in to that
What I would like is a simple place component and tracks autoroute then print but I guess thing are never that easy

There must be a bit of learning involved unfortunately. What I found is I had to mostly create component outlines for the components I actually want to use.

Components are connected together initially with 'rat lines', you have to put these in to connect things up.

So it won't autoroute unless you say import a LTspice schematic. Even then you only get pre-connected rat lines and you still have to move things around and move the tracks to where you want them to go.
