Default Re: Anyone recommend one-off PCB layout service?

Hi David.

That's excellent work.
I've always found MS Paint to be really good and easy to use despite it's limitations. I like the Windows 7 and 10 versions best. I agree it's time consuming learning to use PCB/Circuit diagram software packages and Paint can certainly provide decent results.
Regarding the PCB layouts and a library of symbols, I had thought about scanning rub on transfers such as IC pads etc and cleaning up the image with Paint. I suppose though it's probably easier to create the required pad images with Paint rather than scanning. It's handy having the grid matrix as well.

Regards
Symon.
