True, it does make PCB etching difficult, but not impossible. If anyone is interested in doing this, drop me a PM.
However, ExpressSchem, also included in the program bundle, is pretty nice. As I understand it, you are only looking for a program to draw schematics, not create actual circuit boards, correct?
