For that project, and my current one, I've used Tinycad for the SD Cad, but I don't consider it a final choice--it still has a few bugs that need to be worked...
Here's one you might consider - www.batchpcb.com They're affiliated with sparkfun.com. Sparkfun.com is run by a bunch of ex-college kids out of Boulder CO....
Huseyin I think that is the answer, I tried making less circiuts and it stays the correct size. I am going to test untill I find out what the limit is and stay...

Cliff, You can find lots of custom components from users in the "Files" section of this Yahoo Group. Do you have spacific components thet you need? One...
I am trying to design a custom SYMBOL that I will call "Port - Left Pointing - 5 Letter". How do I do this so that when a user invokes the Symbol Properties...
