Pcb Layout
 

Is anyone familiar with PCB layout software and if so could they reccomend
a decent package that does not cost the earth.

It must be suitable for doing RF boards and be able to save in Gerber format.


F.a.o. moderators: could you leave this thread here for the time being otherwise
it wont get looked at.

Cheers guys

try google, also have a look at the usualy suspects like www.download.com and tucows

or if you speak to PCB on here, he can design and produce boards for you...

Can recommend him :D

There's a company called PCB-Pool that advertises in the back of Electronics Weekly that will build prototype PCBs for much cheapness. If your a customer they have some free software available. See the URL below, has lots of links to other software as well.

I use PCAD Accel, but it aint cheap, it was around £1000 a seat a couple of years back.

Depends what you mean by not costing the earth. My personal favourite is PADS PowerPCB, but even that's into four figures.

What sort of technology are we talking here? For RF I presume you're talking quite fine geometry and multi layers.

Why don't someone design and build me a flamer kit control module then? I don't mind paying for it ;)

No it does not have to be multilayer according to our engineer

Sorry at the most it could be double sided

Thanks again
