POLL: What is your preferred PCB design software?
Any of you lovely folks using Sprint care to convert a few (2-4ish) ".lay" files to something...usable for me? Nothing against your preferred program, it just doesn't appear to use a file format that will play nice with any of what I have available (Eagle, KiCad, DIYLC) for opening the files/generating Gerbers/etc. Not to mention I'm on a mac, so...

I use Kicad because it is free and there are no limits on the size of the board you can create. You do have to create your own footprints for some components but this isn’t difficult once you get past the initial learning curve.

If you email me: baja002steve@gmail.com the Sprint .lay files, i will convert them to gerber and drill data files that should load into any other program that allows gerber import and drill data features
cheers
