Hi Fred.

Yeah Eagle PCB is VERY easy to use but I really don't like it's auto-routing. I autoroute to get an idea of where to lay tracks then lay them manually. I find I can do a better job..or maybe I'm dreamin!

It's not that it auto-routes incorrectly it's just not as neat as I'd like it. I'm sure if I was better at it I could get it to do a better job.

I am mucking around with POV Ray and 3D PCB images from eagle ATM.

Eagle now has a "SPICE sim" plug-in but I haven't tried it.
