I think very highly of CADINT.  They now have a free version which is good 
for up to 250 pins.  In fact, you are using the paid for version with a 
license good for 250 pins.  That license is free.

You can download the most current version from both www.cadint.com and 
www.cadint.se .  You will have to fill out a little form to get it but they 
don't spam you or sell your email address.  Be sure to also download the 
manual and tutorial - these are not included in the main download.

If you decide you like the package enough to upgrade to the pay version, 
they have several options available.  The high end is fairly pricey but I 
feel it is serious bang for the buck.  Note that the only thing that 
changes when you upgrade is the license file and passwords.  You still keep 
the same program you were using with the free license.

In a nutshell:
250 pins - downloaded:          free
250 pins - shipped on CD:       $10
non-commercial - 500 pins:      $90
Other variants are available.
