With the schematic window containing your circuit active:- From the menu bar: 'Special/Create PCB Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:29:31 GMT Bill http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1706 http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1706 Using 2.7.0 build 173 or 248, I am unable to print netlists. Whether I choose TinyCad or Pads-PCB outputs. As a newbie, may be missing something.

It is easy to make your own symbols with practice. Possibly start by looking at symbols in the Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:41:55 GMT a10d0n http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1704 http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1704 Please everyone - read the 'Help/Help...' from the menu bar. It does show how to access and edit the symbol properties and many other things.

Which PCB program is everyone happy with? I just started looking around and I think I would like to try a free one by Advanced Circuits.

PCB manufacturer provided software typically doesn't export gerber files unless you pay them. Advanced is no different.

If I am wrong I hope someone posts the correct information. I think you first select your capacitor by clicking Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:54:10 GMT jwkaiser http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1700 http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1700 wrewing001, I've used TinyCad for a couple of years to make all my drawings. I use it mostly just for drawings and not it's more sophisticated functions.

In the spirit of making it better, I hope my criticism and Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:53:43 GMT dsimsj http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1698 http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1698 This doesn't happen in 2.70 issue 248. I think that you'll find that much of what is causing you problems has fixed in this latest issue.

PCB layouts and have found it to be very good and VeeCad for my stripboard layouts (much more frequent, I plead poverty [:)] Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:11:30 GMT a10d0n http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1695 http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/tinycad/message/1695 I use FreePCB for PCB layout (as do quite a few others). Interface via PADS-PCB netlist. For simulation I use Simetrix from Catena.

A better way is
