Apprecite your reply but still don't understand the limitation? You say 1 board per project, can you have more than 1 project or when you want a new board do you have to easre the old board to make room for the new? Hopefully you see my question, what is the actual mechanics of making more than 1 board? Can you have more than 1 board saved at a time? Understand what a board is, but what is Eagles definition of a "project"? --- In Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, Christopher Hart <tech_guru@...> wrote: > > You can make one board per project.
