Kieht;
For non production, amateur, and student use, Express PCB
and PCB Express offer free cad programs to do boards they support
internally. Launch ordering right inside,...simple layout tools..
Tough to beat for easy learning curve and one-off assy's.. A few days
turn to get them done.... pretty reasonable pricing for prototypes
not destined for production. If you plan on making lots of a board
through conventional board houses, then more conventional cad
programs would be in order but largely have longer learning
curves....some of those have pin limited free versions and demos...
Eagle <http://www.cadsoft.de/freeware.htm> is a popular one...
I use Express PCB for my personal choice between the two former sources...
