Subject: copying circuit boards

From: dg140@...

I suppose there is no easy way to copy circuit boards to make new ones?
I'm working with a few devices which are now in cut-out limbo, so I'd like
to make more PCBs for them. It'd be nice if some photographic or
"photocopying" technique existed whereby one could simply make a copy of a
PCB. As it is, must I draw it out, do the foil pattern, etc, or possibly
draw it out in something like OrCAD, and have PCBs done up that way?
These are not too complex double-sided boards, about 5∗6 inches. Any
ideas as to how long it can take to redo them on computer so a shop can
make a batch?
