Eventually I am going to have to get a board made up after I learn how to use either Kicad or DesignSparkPCB. I am hoping to find a program that can take a PCB layout drawing and convert it to these Gerber files now used by the manufacturers. Otherwise, I am going to have to learn the above programs and painstakingly redraw the ancient drawings and save to to the correct format. Robert, I would love to start learning Kicad with you. Kicad supports Gerber 274X. http://support.seeedstudio.com/knowledgebase/articles/1824574-how-to-generate-gerber-and-drill-files-from-kicad https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/428596/how-to-convert-a-rs-274d-gerber-to-rs-274x For myself, I would like to start off by laying down the schematic of the TbsSSR in Kicad - it's essentially two back to back T0-220 N Channel MOSFETs, a stamp size PSU offboard and some passives
