FWIW, I've published some advice/opinions and tutorial information on how to design your PCBs so that they're more easilly fabricated in a homebrew/hobbyist context. The tutorial is based on EAGLE, but the principles should apply to other CAD packages as well. http://www.instructables.com/ex/i/E8C98D522C771029BC6B001143E7E506/ BillW
