You can make an envelope out of paper if you are using the toner transfer method.
With Inkjet you have to use one fixed line and a supplementarry point.
It is usefull to convert the PCB layout to DXF and then use AutoCAD to line up and modify the DXF file.
I use OrCAD and AutoCAD 2000.

that difficult, we have already covered that issue - One edge
against a rail, then the use of a center locator of some sort.
However, I just did a test this morning and realized my PCB design
software (that I am currently using) won't work easily for it.
When printing the component side traces, I have to turn on mirror
image. When it prints it, it mirrors the "whole page". Thus, if my
design isn't exactly in the center of the "page", the solder and
component sides will be shifted from each other.
I am using PCB Wizard at the moment - it is fast and easy, but very
limitted. I am also working with another package but don't know
enough about it yet to figure out the printing and such.
So, just another "thing" to think about as we all dive into this.
