Agreed. I learned PC Layout at Hewlett-Packard, now
Agilent in a Boy Scout Explorer's post in 1972. I
taped a few major electroncs hobbyest projects and the
Leach Amp (80's). The only layout software I've used
extensively so far was DOS based, EasyTRax.
The larger the library, the easier and faster the
design. It's almost like what should probably happen
is that the component industry should get together and
define a universal importable footprint/3D model etc.
