Its been a while since I've used EAGLE, I've moved
over to DipTrace (free version), it's much easier to
use. There is no limit to the size of the board, just
the number of pins. t even imports EAGLE libraries.
I put 12 1"square pcbs on one EAGLE board. I remember
2 things abpout doing it. First, there is a panelize
ULP and second, I had to keep the schematic file
closed and work only with the pcb file.
It seemd that cut and paste did work, again with the
pcb open only.
For anything larger than 3"x4" with EAGLE FREE, you do
need some type of graphics program. Just be careful
that you don't change the size of the printout, even
very subtly.
If i can find the file, I'll post it. it may give some
clues on the procedure.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.
