Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Newbie PCB Question

You can make one board per project. I have designed several boards in Eagle,
some have made it to copper, others didn't but you can create as many as you
want, as long as you keep the design to 1 board per project. You can redo the
board as many times as you like, as long as there is only one board file for
the project. Eagle does let you open files larger than you can create with
the freeware version, but you simply can't edit them.
