Dick,
I have had good luck with CirCad from Holophase. It is very powerful and
reasonably priced for Hams. It produces windows printer output (which you
can capture to a file), AutoCAD (DXF) files, and "Gerber" output. "Gerber"
allows me to order circuit boards over the Internet from APC in Canada.
Costs about $100 for a pair of smaller boards. Only takes a couple of days
to get your circuit boards back.
See www.holophase.com, then call Jay Craswell at (612) 492-3913 to get the
Ham Radio pricing.
You use Circad to draw the schematic and then you create the PCB from the
schematic. Circad keeps track of what is connected to what and helps you
get the PCB right.
Good Luck,
..Eugene.. AE2F
PS. I have not connection with Holophase beyond being a satisfied customer.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Schematic Drawing Program
Hi folks. I'm homebrewing a fairly complex antenna switch control interface
and wonder if anyone has come across a good schematic drawing program for
Windows that can export to common graphics formats like JPG, BMP, etc. I've
done some surfing but haven't found the right one yet. Please reply direct
to me to avoid clutter on the reflector (I think this is on topic because of
the intended use, but I'm not sure.)
