Hi,
Could you please tell us which tools you used?
For schematic capture I used xcircuit:
http://xcircuit.sourceforge.net
which is a drawing program with utility far
beyond schematic capture. It is unique as
it uses postscript as its native format.
what about import/export capabilities? Did you design all the symbols
from scratch? Is it capable to import symbols from existing libraries
(OrCAD, Protel etc.)?
For PCB layout, "PCB":
http://pcb.sourceforge.net
Which has taken the better part of a decade
to get usable IMHO.
What about importing the netlist generated by xcircuit? Was it
straightforward?
The board in question has a rather simple
design and layout. For more complex cases
I'd look at gEDA:
http://www.geda.seul.org
which was still in the process of gelling
last time I checked (over a year ago), so you
may want to have a look for yourself.
Again, have you any idea about its importing capabilities?
