Low cost - $195 - PCB Software

I recently evaluated half a dozen low cost pcb softwares and purchased
Circuit Creator. In less than 3 weeks, I have successfully designed
couple boards. The software demo can be downloaded or software can be
purchased from following site.

http://www.circuitcreator.com

It is an excellent value product in its category.

Thanks,
Jeff

Exactly. These clowns have been self-testimonializing themselves for years.
They once sent me a review of their product ostensibly from a leading CAD
magazine - which no one had ever heard of - which was obviously bogus.

With such an obviously fake "testimonial" my confidence in their product
quality isn't great, I mean they can't even post something believable.

That's funny, I tried "Circuit Creator" and found it to be garbage. Anyone who
tries "Circuit Creator" will probably be disappointed with "Circuit Creator".
But that's what demos are for........ ;)

That's strange. About two years ago I was looking to purchase a low cost
schematic capture and autorouter and settled on Circuit Creator Pro
(actually Visual Spice Pro from Island Logix who license the code from AMS -
or the other way round I couldn't care less).

In short, I own this product (version 5.12) amongst others. The different
components making up the suite have been written without regard to user
interface consistency, in fact, whilst the schematic capture and simulation
module has a modern look and feel about it, the auto-routing module is a
throw back to Windows 3.1 standards. But this is trivial compared to what
follows.

I found the simulator unstable and prone to lockups especially when changing
component values during a simulation. Simulation results were inconsistent.
Scaling of simulation graphs and associated controls were also inconsistent.

At the moment, the product is gathering dust after a string of support calls
of which the last 4 met with no response at all. As a software developer (25
years) I don't understand how 'Circuit Creator' was deemed fit to market at
all.

Now I see this joker has the temerity to extol a product I know for a fact
will dissapoint.

Honestly, especially the newbies to electronics in general, stay away, well
away from this product.

Not nearly as excellent value as GNU/Linux gEDA with PCB. These high
quality applications are completely unlimited and cost no more than the
cost of *downloading* them.

Eagle evaluation PCB is the easiest freebe to use I use all SMD and a
single layer. for simple circuits I recommend.
Similarly I find LTC spice costs nothing and is better than most
(possibly all)
Not spam prevents reading demon emails

Not a difficult challenge.

2 options:

Windows: LTSpice + EAGLE (or if you know how to, compile gEDA under Windows -
www.cygwin.com).

Linux: LTSpice under Wine or tclspice + gEDA.
