Hello,
There seems to be quite a bit of negativity on this list just lately so I thought it was time to redress the balance a little. Having just been made redundant from my job and being in need of a cheap schematic capture and PCB layout package to continue working independently I was amazed to find a package of this quality freely available. I have used many commercial packages over the years including Mentor Graphics Boardstation and PADS and I have been very pleasantly surprised by the sophistication of the KiCAD offering. I managed to design, capture, layout and photo-plot three reasonably complex boards in three weeks and I have been impressed by the stability of the package. I don’t miss the times when PADS can’t find the license over the network and so closes the design for me. I don’t miss running out of concurrent licenses and having to find out who left a copy running when they went to lunch. So please accept my thanks for producing such a good suite of programs and good luck with any future enhancements. Keep up the good work! MarkW -- No virus found in this incoming message.
