Not if you encase the pin in solder, but then you loose the ability to swap around, what I have done in that situation is test everything and if I can't see a problem get busy with the soldering iron!

That is called "makin' Pappys way", I have done that in my garage, I have a feeling it would an 'elf & safety' violation to do it on company premises...

That's too comfortable. Use an acid proof pen and draw your pads and traces directly onto the copper.

I have not used it myself, but this one[^] has been recommended to me.
Thee is a free version that is limited to 250 pins or soldering pads and only two layers.

Way back long ago I worked at a PCB development company. Amongst the things, even back in the 1980's that was important is that boards are typically multi-layer. This allows smaller and more complex circuitry. Possibly more than you need worry about, but this type of planning, topographic layering, in some ways simplifies the design (no need to have weird routes as "wires" can cross without touching), but could increase the cost of the software.
Note that plating through the whole was an important part of these designs - so that when those wires cross and you want them to meet at a connection (drill hole) they do.
At that time, the company even had a machine that drew with wire as an alternative to the etching process - and since the wire was insulated, they needn't worry about crossing lines unless they wanted them to connect (drill, plate-through).

This I have used a really long time ago.
Easy-PC PCB Design Software by Number One Systems[^]
At the time it had no auto-routing but was the only affordable one I knew of. Not too bad for the price but I've no idea how it is now.
Protel (I see they changed their name) was really good, during the 1 month trial. Was $5000 then...
|
|
|
|
|
Altium DXP would be my choice, but KI Cad I have tried it seems usable. Protel is/was good but expensive, I still get cold sweats from using it at Uni. It was the DOS version where you could assign your own short cuts, I rarely did so hitting F1 could do anything! 
|
|
|
|
|
I use Altium myself and can highly recommend it. Eagle cad is quite popular with the DIY/Arduino crowd.
|
|
|
|
|
I think the sys admin and I tried TICAD free and seems quite feature rich down side open source!  Recommend Eagle as I have used before but could not find the refernce I used, think it was amalgamated with RS Components in the UK...

I'll be back in approximately 16 hours and 30 minutes. In that time I will get some sleep, get through a work day and then ensure I have a big drink.
If all goes according to plan I will be back on Code Project at 18:53 drunk posting to commemorate 18 years since Melanoma took my little sister.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Sorry about your loss.
I feel your pain. My dad had a melanoma removed 21 years ago. Even though it was done right and he had follow-ups, it was not enough. In January of this year they found, that the melanoma cancer had spread throughout his body. He passed away in April.

Lost my father to prostrate C last year, also recently couple of younger brother's in law to Liver C,
had a large melanoma taken off my own back and now forever in high risk category. Dengue A - now high risk if I catch any of the other 3 variants.
Boo bl**dey hoo, sh*t happens to everybody.
Furthermore, none of those ever make me want to drink - even more so to brag about getting drunk, that's just childish. Do you really think your sister would want you to get stupid to honer her???
Grow up and do something useful for somebody instead, THAT would show proper respect.

Eat a dick knob gobbler. If we're trying to show off the most cancer in the family, lets go.
Paternal Grandfather - Died of cancer, I was too young to know which type
Paternal Grandmother - Dead of old age
Maternal Grandfather - Dead Lung Cancer
Maternal Grandmother - Still Kicking after 2 bouts of stomach/bowel cancer
Father - Dead Lung Cancer (didn't smoke)
Mother - Dead Melanoma
Sister - Dead Melanoma
Maternal Aunt - Survived Lymphatic and Breast Cancer
Maternal Aunt - Survived Melanoma
Do I win a prize?

Seems like you know her better than me. No you don't c**k head, she would happily egg me on and would have drunk along with me. We're Australian, not alcoholics and definitely not Yankee AA wannabes like yourself.
