It's available for Windows, Linux and, probably via Fink or MacPorts also for Mac OS X. http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/kicad/ – Authors' homepage. http://kicad.sourceforge.net/ – at SourceForge (a Wiki basically). You may find others. Most Linux distros will have some free CAD applications in their corresponding repositories. I'd look there first. Other sources include the Open Directory, like at dmoz.org: http://www.dmoz.org/Science/Technology/Electronics/CAD/Electronic_Design_Automation/PCB_Design/ Problem will probably be that you cannot open your MiniCAD/Vectorworks files with other CAD software. But isn't there a way to use AutoCAD DXF files? They are a defacto-standard, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD_DXF ---------- Original message ---------- Subject: Re: Goodbye Power Macs!
