OK, I'll turn it around.....does EXPRESSPCB.com support Eagle? Their price per board is good, but I'm under the impression that they will not take my Eagle files... Eagle has more to understand as a novice, but it seems more like a real "CAD" program. I quickly figured out most of the library and drawing stuff due to experience with other CADs. Perhaps that's not a good assumption to make about everyone, but I was familiar with the concepts. Now that I've learned it (on my first project, similar to this) I'd really like to keep with it. I'm looking forward to getting 4+ layers and unlimited size. Who is the least expensive for rapid prototype under Eagle? I am currently using http://www.pcbexpress.com, along with newest Eagle. My usual "buys" are 4 x 2sided boards at Eagle limit of 3.2 x 4.0. Price for this size....$115.00 + shipping DD On Tue, 2003-12-16 at 13:42, Bryan Mumford wrote: > To me the benefit of ExpressPCB is not so much the low cost, fast > turn around, or that the layout software is free.
