CAD Data:-
 
When ever possible we prefer to do the post processing of the CAD data files ourselves. The main software packages we support in this way are Easy PC, Eagle, PCB Wizard, Autocad DXF, & Protel, but we are able to post process quite a number of other formats.

We have many years of expertise in laying out circuit boards, and am always happy to quote to your design specification, or from whatever other information or data you might have. 

With so many CAD packages to choose, we would like to recommend our current favourites, Easy PC, and Eagle.

It's also well worth a look at the upcoming open source alternatives. They are well written up to date, fully functional pieces of software written by enthusiasts who thrive on feedback. To date we recommended  SourceForge.net: PCB Layout Tool  and FreePCB: freeware PCB layout software

Any Boardmaker 2 users please note this old DOS package is not compatible with windows XP. If using XP the only workarounds are either to update onto the newer leased Boardmaker 3, or import the PCB layout files directly into Number Ones Systems  Easy PC. We expect to be following the second option unless a sufficient number of you update onto Boardmaker 3 in which case it's lease may become a viable expense.
