Hi Wayne:
  
  I've been using Kicad for three weeks and just completed one project. I also had to penalize the boards.
  
  I exported them from Kicad as post script, opened in GSview, exported  as bit map, then opened in open office draw used copy and paste to  penalize. It sounds like a lot of work but after a few times it went  real fast.
  
  I really like Kicad, but I agree that the component editor needs work.
  
  Cheers
  
  Chuck

Thanks for the review.  It pretty much agrees with my
experience to date.

I'm hoping that the next board that I send out to Olimex
will be done with KiCAD.  There is still one remaining
"gotcha" issue that I have to resolve with KiCAD.  I need
to figure out how to cram multiple 1.25" x 2.50" mini-boards
onto a single 3.9" x 6.3" Eurocard board in KiCAD.  I'm sure
I'll figure it out.
