PCB CAD Layout Software

Pros
Easy to use. Adding parts is a snap. It loads really fast, around one second. The autosave feature is excellent. It has saved my bacon a few times. I have been using it since 2013. About 30 or 40 produced board designs.
Cons
A netlist helps a lot with more complex boards. I use TinyCAD for schematics and to produce a netlist. You need to look at the output files with a Gerber viewer to make sure what is produced is what was desired. I like ViewMate from pentalogix
Summary
I give it a 5 Star rating. And the price is right.
