Good point. I'm used to using CorelDraw and a vinyl cutter so it
draws it differently, I guess. I make sure and join all objects
that touch so the path is only around the outside of an area. I
would imagine that if I try and use something like Eagle that way,
I'll have to figure it out again.

I can do simple PCBs without much trouble in CorelDraw, but
anything more complex or any changes are a big hassle.
