Survey Sheds Light on PCB Design

The problem I always had was that the PCB "draftsman" was typically not an engineer which created inevitable shortcomings in the result. Fortunately, board size in most of my projects has shrunk and I now "design" my own boards that come out exactly the way I want them. I realize this is not practical in all cases but it is virtually impossible to tell someone all the things not to do wrong. Still, it always ends up taking longer than I anticipate but is usually much closer to perfect when I'm done.
