Well, Altium Circuit Maker got ditched. It was OK for doing schematics, which I have done and printed. For this one-off project, I am going to build it on protoboard. This, in a way, is fecking annoying. as I wanted to try isolation milling again. I have CopperCam to do the conversion of Gerber to Gcode.

So - what did I find wrong with Altium CM----

1. Lack of Help documentation.
2. Cloud based storage only.
3. Rigid development pathway. (1 PCB per project - I needed 1 PCB per schematic)
4. Alien vocabulary. I do not speak Nerdish.
5. Forking didn't work! (if you use Altium CM you may realise that is a pathetic joke!)
6. Tutorial videos were done by a super-annoying young American with a high voice.

I will re-address the issue of routing (pronounced rooting not rowting) tracks of a circuit to design a PCB which can then be isolation routed (this one you can pronounce rowting), when my frustration levels reduce to the point that my forehead is not in danger of demolishing a wall.

Thanks everyone, for the input, I will get back to evaluating these suggestions soon.

Cheers,

Rob-T
