It’s a little fiddly, but I like my PAD (Paper Aided Design) system.

Just turn your head if you need to sneeze. :wink:

I like it. Sometimes it’s nice not to be concerned with thinking about software. Can free the mind in a different way.

@marmil RIGHT! You don’t make that mistake twice. Related: anyone ever seen sheets of Post-It notes where the glue covers the whole back of the paper, not just a strip at the top?

It wasn’t really about freeing myself from the restrictions of software as finding all the available macOS circuit design software either under-powered, unconscionably ugly, unusably buggy, or all three. Tinkercad (née circuits.io) was missing parts I needed, and is a “Chrome app”, not a web app, as promised. Upverter is well over the level of sophistication of something that should be even attempted as a web app and looks and feels like it was designed by engineers. Fritzing’s part editor just doesn’t work and the “cross platform” interface is horrible on macOS. Kicad has a massive learning curve and again, is some unusable awful cross platform GUI toolkit monstrosity. There are no good options.
