[sdiy] getting started with a PCB/schem application

[Tony Rolando]

Per, in Osmond are you able to copy and paste board layout AND schematic 
together? For example, if I am doing a board that has 3 summing stages, 
all identical, could I layout one, and then copy and paste throughout 
the board, with the schematic and board maintaining consistency? This is 
the one thing that makes me consider leaving eagle. It is nearly 
impossible to do this simple function. One must layout each summing 
stage individually. There are tricks to get around this limitation, but 
I have found that often these tricks take almost as long as just doing 
the layout again, and they present many possibilities for naming errors 
and etc...
