For this matter I think you would have more success with kicad. Kicad has a pretty large support base to dig through as well
Anything besides Eagle "Not saying it's a bad program" but to me it was like trying to learn how to fly a 747 when you might should start with a single engine plane to get the hang of it first.

Ask away but like dl324 said it might be better to start your own thread so the answers are tailored to you

Did you miss my post about how the traces are on the wrong side of the board? If you send it out that way you are going to wonder what went wrong.

How do you pick the required component in the library?
Found that hard even in Diptrace. The components aren't labeled like you or I would think they should be :eek:
You pull a search for (X) component and it will tell you it isn't there. Now this is really where PCB design gets hard Pattern editing, Component editing and Library building.

Edit: it took me about 2 to 3 weeks to get the hang of it....But I'm slow and try to make sure I get something before I move on.
