Cad for circuit drawings

tomis4cd

As I look over the circuit drawings using Stamps in Parallax literature and in Nuts and Volts I am curious as to what cad package you use to make the drawings.

Thanks

Inside Parallax we use Corel Draw for our technical drawings. For board posting, I generally use ExpressSCH from www.expresspcb.com -- it's free, it's quick, and it exports bitmaps.

Hint: If you decide to use ExpressSCH, export your schematic as a 200 BPI bitmap, then open it up in a graphics editor, trim away what's not absolutely necessary and then save the file in a web-friendly format like JPG or GIF.

I'm a huge fan of Autotrax EDA.· There's a free version that limits you to 100 terminals, but it's still the best electronics CAD program I've ever used (i.e. easiest interface, fewest bugs).· I believe the website is www.autotraxeda.com

I have always used Cadsoft...

There is a freeware version available at http://www.cadsoft.de/

If you search their website they have a library for the BS2 family line so you can include the BS2 in your future designs.
