Hello World,

I am looking for a decent PCB design program for double-sided
PCB production. I would like one that directly prints (postscript,
plotter and dot-matrix) the finished track layout onto transparencies
for direct use on a varnished copper board for subsequent exposure to UV.
The package should have intelligent auto-routing and have a comprehensive
(or at least user-expandable) library of chip packages.
I currently use PCLO (Printed Circuit Layout) but it only has a Benson
plotter driver. Postscript would be preferred! (The dot-matrix output available
is not suitable for direct use on a PCB)
Anyone used IntroCAD ? However I suspect that a general purpose CAD package
won't auto-route! Any other recommended packages ?

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks..

Marvin.
