I downloaded this from the University Library yesterday, and although it is ancient I plan to work my way through the exercises:

https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Printed_Circuit_Board_Design_Using_AutoC.html

Unfortunately, of course, my download does not include the accompanying disk !

Does anyone have a source for that ?

So you’re going to use incomplete tutorials to design PCBs in a different and really old program?

How is that going to help you?

If we replace “PCBs” in the above phrase with “Martin Evans’ plans”, we have a reasonable description of the Model Engineering hobby, about which we are all gathered here today.

I am not sure you make any useful contribution by questioning the use people make of their own time.

If you’re thinking of designing PCBs to be made by one of the Chinese board makers, Michael, I think you’ll find it much easier to download a dedicated Schematic/PCB design program.

KiCAD* is free, does all you want, and will spit out gerber files that a the board makers’ machinery can understand (some of them, like Elecrow, give specific instructions for the correct KiCAD settings).

*And it’s partly developed by CERN, so it’s automatically cool.
