Cad Program for Schematics?

No, you do *not* have to scan it. If you had the full Acrobat installed, you could print to the PDF printer - which creates a PDF file. Alternately, install a PostScript color LaserJet assigned to FILE and print to that. Then get the freebie GhostScript on the web, and use that to convert to PDF, TIFF, BMP, etc.

Since you like to make your own symbols, use CorelDraw or other 2D draw program...

Gee Jim, your getting nice in your old age. Cadence has abandoned support for the whole Orcad line.

I am using Eagle its easy to use and it allows me to output to gcode for use with the CNC mill I have with a routing bit for cutting tracks .

I have also tried Orcad it's more advanced but I had trouble generating gcode from it. It has Spice built in though!

, screen prints can be taken from this then printed to photopaper (the smooth paper that one uses to print digital photo's) via a laser printer with full darkness set. Then you can transfer the pattern by placing the paper over the copper clad board and ironing the back of the paper. This should transfer the pattern to the PCB which can then be etched. I have never tried this method myself but this site explains it in more detail ...

Good Luck Steve.
