  Very nice Nick!
  
  Enjoyed both of the videos so far.
  
  I used to teach PCB layout on the Gerber PC800 machine back in the 80's. I took the same aproach as you are using, although we did not have schematic capture at the time.
  
  Brings back memories.

  Great videos, Nick!
  
  I tried to watch the Guided Tour on the DipTrace, but found out that it does not have any sound.
  
  Will you also be covering the Component Editor and part creation?
  
  Do you have Propeller parts available? (like Propeller DIP-40, Prototype platform, screw terminals, ...) Not that I'm lazy, but...
  
  Thanks

  @Al - the Propeller DIP, QFP and QFN are in Diptrace. I also did Propeller Platform templates in diptrace here. I'm undecided on the Component editor and part maker. They're pretty intuitive, but you've got to use 'em pretty often. I might do it as a 'quick tip'.
  
  @hover - thanks! Hopefully a few people will see how easy it is and make their own board - it's a lot of fun and you get a project that looks really nice and professional.
