Do not mention Eagle, i wasted a lot of time on POTS to download the demo version, and again, it was totally useless.
And i was unable to figure out what files wer needed to make the DOS Orcad even run - so that is out.
PCB123 is out, because the manual is worse than obscene - unreadable (Acrobat sez it is corrupted and cannot fix it).
So what is left? 


i also don't like eagle, kicad, etc

many have strange insert and delete items.
also poor library with missing common components.

the only who survived is <http://www.diptrace.com/>
but i have not really used it at this time.

  Thanks for mentioning Diptrace, will check it out.
