Homebrew PCBs

Leon,

I'm sure that works well in EASY PC, but as he said he
is using EAGLE. Most likely the free version which
only allows a 3" x 4" board, which is why he has a lot
of small files.

If he has a full version of EAGLE , then he can
panelize, or cut and paste the pcb's there.

I usually just cut out a small piece of the toner
transfer paper and attach it to a sheet of regular
paper with laser labels.

Though it would be more convenient to paste the
graphics first and then print.

I've just started using Adobe Acrobat Prof, but I t
seems there should be a way do do it there.

TANSTAAFL!
