Drawing a circuit using a CAD software and printing it using a printer is very different from publishing it in books or magazine. They hv to be of of quality that the publisher approved for printing. Therefore the drawing hv to be processed further to improved its appearance (text size, fonts, graphics, layout etc..).

I believe they (Elektor) either using very expensive package or using std package and processed it before prining.
The std package available are Cadence Allegro & OrCAD, Mentor Graphics, Cadstar, Zuken and of course Altium (Protel) which I am using and I think the cheapest.

Is that so?

It always seemed to me that the boards looked like they were laid out in something more like easy-pc/boardmaker

Hi,
According to the the Swedish version of Elektor nr 6/2005, they use Splan from Abacom.

They use Splan for schematics, and very special versions of Ultiboard and Orcad for PCBs.
