Default Re: CAD PCB Software

Hi Howard and Ti.... Was playing with Express last night, and after 20 mins I was "cooking on gas".......just takes a little getting used to......But after Diptrace, I think I can get on with it.
The only thing I think I have found that is "incompatible" is that there are no "oval" pads
... my preference for IC's and small transistors are oval pads........ there is a fixed library which is quite comprehensive, but no oval pads..
Ti.... I cannot be restricted to "small" pcb's.. some of mine are 500 pins or more, that's one "let down" with Diptrace.
It seems that these days there are a great number of options. Spoilt for choice.
Thanks for the input
