Hi everyone,
I am designing a board for this current sensor by Allegro http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=04R7131&CMP=KNC-GPLA&mckv= (http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=04R7131&CMP=KNC-GPLA&mckv=)|pcrid|27090074181|plid|
They provide a recommended PCB layout, which you can see below. The problem is I don't know how to do this in ExpressPCB. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Jason

Use the free version of Eagle, or something free like KiCAD.
Have your boards made at OSHPark, instead of ExpressPCB.com.
Problem solved! (and cheaper, too!)

Usually I send it to futurelec in the ExpressPCB format. I will take a look at Kicad. I've tried Eagle and didn't really like it.

OSH Park is cheaper than Futurlec, and has nicer boards (ENIG, 6mil design rules, etc.)
That being said, if Futurlec works for you, good for you :-)

Wow. Eagle and Kicad are really irritating me. I think I am going to stick with Express for now. Im just not use to the interface. All the options for components are overwhelming and unnecessarily complicated IMO.
