Interesting video Colin and slick software. However, I rarely make PCBs and only occasionally do wire logic on IC boards (pretty horrible and gives me eye strain).
If I were going to do some PCBs I would do it in Corel Draw as I'm always seeking opportunities to practice and get better with that software. I really believe its best to stick to a few poweful packages. At first it would take longer as I would need to create a component library and then be able to put down IC pads, headers etc as in Pad2. I would use layers to create front and back board sides.
Cant see how I could do the Logical Connections feature but for my simple stuff and in house I probably wouldnt need it. BTW we used to call Logical Connections ,and do this first, a Running Out list for wiring in the old days.
But Yeah! good to see and thanks Gary
