PCB designing

which software i best for PCB designing.??

I think proteus will b the better choice . . . . bcz proteus have feature of PCB Designing as well as Schematic. . .

Define "best".

* Lowest Price?
* Easiest to use?
* Greatest vender support?
* Greatest community support?
* Most features in the free version (in cases where there _is_ a free version)?
* The best student deal?
* Most features or has specific features that you need?
* Closest to your preferred user interface preference?
* The most tools (e.g. schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, embedded video so you can watch your shows while banging out a design [do they have that???])?
* ???

better you can go for protel which is much easier to work

CadSoft Eagle PCB seems to be one of the most popular almost free PCB design tools. It seems pretty easy learn.

Hi,

Altium Designer 10 is best software of PCB designing.

It has no of benefits in PCB Design specially in complex design like DDR RAM design we can copy any portion of layout and make symmetry.

It has very good online help

It depends on your experience in PCB designing. If you are just a beginner, I suggest you start with Eagle. Very simple to use. But f you have considerable background in PCB designing, you can go with Altium 16.2. Actually, it all depends in your application. If the features of your PCB design software matches your needs, then you can say it is the best PCB design software for you.

You have right waseem but what about a free software like eagle

http://www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/?language=en

and a complete tutorial serie about eagle

http://www.youtube.com/user/margoumix?feature=mhee

Get suscribed coz i will complete the eagle tutorials it remains the ULP the language that helps you create eagle plugins

And then i will provide isis proteus tutorials serie you can also follow me in my facebook page

Good luck!

yes it is a great tool

Those videos can helps start using eagle and all the excuses about my English COZ its not my native langage

I think the best one is expresspcb.com

Best for what?

For my own suggest CadSoft Eagle PCB software you may use for your project. I’m not recommending but perhaps you could check out this "PCB(PCB)":http://actpcb.com/pcb-calculator
Thanks!!!

There's also a great tutorial at SparkFun.com:

I've learned of a couple of new possibilities since this thread began:
* http://fritzing.org [more for the beginner and/or hobbiest, but really cool!]
* http://www.pcbfx.com/main_site/pages/start_here/overview.html [do-it-yer-self -- but, no plated-through holes or masking]
* CircuitWizard has PCB design [that I have never used, so I can't vouch for it's functionality]. Circuit Wizard is great as a tool for learning electronics, but it is severely limited: Only basic ['90s era] components, no voltage regs below 5V, no LDO, no LM317, 4000 series only simulate at 5V, the part number list for active discretes, such as transistors is sparse [no PN2222A or PN2907A or modern MOSFETs], and no shottkey or fast recover diodes (you can create your own components but they won't simulate.]

Hi Andani,

You can check out PCBWeb. It's actually not a software but more of a web application. Here is PCBWeb's website:
