PCB Design Software?

I would like to create a PCB for my project, but I'm not sure what software to use. A friend suggested DIP Trace so·I downloaded the free version, but the learning curve is intimidating. The tutorial had me lost.

Can anyone recommend some simple/free software for doing PCB layout?

    This is really not the correct forum for this question -- but as you've asked, I use ExpressPCB for my personal and some professional SX projects.

    Express PCB is the best for simple projects.

    Check out the free PCB Artist software from Advanced Circuits.

    I use WinQCad. It is a full suite of the development cycle (schematic, layout, routing, gerber development)

    Easy-PC is excellent. I used it for over 25 years:

    This thread is being moved from the SX Forum to the Sandbox Forum as it is off topic in the original forum, which is for SX Microcontroller discussion only.
