I'm looking for some advice from the design community... If you were tasked with teaching someone who had zero experience with PCB design how to design boards, what software tool would you choose to use as a beginner's platform upon which to build their education and teach them the fundamentals? And Why? Bill Brooks - KG6VVP PCB Design Engineer, C.I.D.+, C.I.I.
