Reply to "Updated Again: Quick-Start Notes for PCB Design Using DipTrace free"

Your notes say what size traces to use up to 1 amp.  Does that mean the software can't do traces for 10 amp, or are PCBs no longer a good idea with that kind of current?  I ask because I want to make a power supply routing/breakout box where I can plug a Lionel 180W brick in one end and have 3-4 spots on the other end to attach leaders too.  I was thinking a PCB would be a lot cleaner then a rats nest of wires and bus bars to get the same result.

 

As for the Word file, you don't need Word to open it.  Apple's Pages will open it, Google Docs will open it, any of the versions or forks of Open Office will open it too, and those are just the things off the top of my head.
