Who are DesignSpark PCB users and what they think about the software
I have used previous versions and found it very good. Before that I had to send my PCB designs out to a firm using PADS2000 which was too expensive to own. Using DSPCB I can now do them myself and check them immediately rather than sending back for corrections. In fact I am ordering the PCB right now from a PCB manufacturer who has made them before and has had no trouble using the Gerber output. Keep up the good work. I did try using the Eagle PCB program but you couldnt use it for commercial work without buying a licence so havent used it since.

Great product with DesignSpark - it is pretty impressive! I wouldnt mind paying for it if we had to!
Staff in our electronics courses are interested in using DesignSpark as it links with the RS catalogue (from which we order our components) and students can install on their home computers. Were really pleased theres a version aimed at educational institutions.
