Cheap & Simple PCB design software

[radiance]

Hi,

I used to work with RIMU pcb software but the developer;s website  (Hutson Systems ) is no longer.

Can anyone recommend any simple PCB software like Rimu?
It's just for a small project so I'm not going to spend a lot of money on it.

I use Circuitmaker and Traxmaker for PC.
The maker has gone out of business. I use Circuitmaker for simulation which seems OK. You can also export the circuit into Traxmaker for auto routing, but I dont use that function so I cant comment on how good it is.

All my boardsI route manually in Traxmaker and it does the job for me.

Hope this helps
Peter

I started using Sprint Layout. It´s 50 bucks and very easy to learn. I´ve done my first PCB after 2 hrs.
