Thanks, Leo! As GRJ says, Diptrace is not too bad to learn. I think you will be going in no time once you get started. GRJ might even help once in a while too, if you post here about it.  It took me a while to get going with Diptrace, but there was a lot of good help here that got me started and kept me going! I still struggle with the library stuff, slowly getting there. 

One of the hardest things for me was part selection. I don't know all the parts, names, sizes of footprints, etc. and there are a LOT of parts. Once you get a few parts selected drawing the wires are pretty easy. You sometimes have to fiddle with footprints when making the PCB, get those done before selecting 'Make PCB'. As GRJ has reminded me, use the error checking often!

Also, download some of the posted Diptrace files around here and take a look at them, that helps too.
