Is there an online designer that I can use?

...I'm using "Target3001" (there is a free version here: http://www.ibfriedrich.com/, but the commercial versions are also not very expensive). It is intuitive and easy to learn. I as a complete newbie managed to do this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIYZ0ldzJwY as my first PCB!

I wish KiCad had a "proper" forum instead of a Yahoo group.

There are many PCB design applications but I generally use OrCAD. Here are some more application which can be useful for you: Altium, Allegro, Expedition, Eagle, Board Station, Cadstar, ProTel, Tango, PADS…

these are best software to design PCB.

Good luck!

Altium just announced the release of their new free PCB design tool.  From what I've seen so far it looks really cool and full featured!

Bit of a useless link. It does not say what OS it runs under and it is only free "to start with". It says you can buy enhancements but makes no mention as to what they are.

So I find they are not up front with this product and in my experience this is always a bad thing. A suck you in and then screw you operation?

I need a PCB designing application which will be FREE....

I mostly need to make double sided PCBs.. I use eagle...Anything much better that that..?

Advanced Circuits' PCB Artist is the absolute best FREE PCB layout software! and it also runs a file check to ensure proper manufacturability of your printed circuit board design for free.

There is a (relatively new) forum at http://www.kicad.info

I've been using the free version of Eagle for simple designs so far and I got no complain about it. Is there any free edition of another program worth checking? (Meaning that it may be offering more than Eagle).
