Hai, Many people use Express PCB
I use PCB123 from www.pcb123.com.
it is working fine for me it has libraries and you can download updates and integrate them into the software.
All the best

Perhaps you can create new footprints for the chips. such facility exists in OrCAD

| I use altium DXP. With it you can do many things, but you have to make some pcb models for pic microcontrollers, it don't have all.

i think orcad is the best tool for autorouting.
and for simulation Protus is more user friendly with animated output.and simulating an micro controller circuit with peripherals is simply the best in this software with no h/w.

Hi,
You can use OrCAD15.7 Demo. It is fully functional and free with some limits on the number of the chips, connections, footprints, etc. But you will have the full libraries! Inside the Layout you will find the Library Editor that has an Pad Array Generator. If you do not find the footprint you need, it is easy to make it yourself.

| You can download OrCAD15.7 Demo directly from the OrCAD site (www.orcad.com). It is too big to be sent via email.
