Hi all,

I need to get schematic & PCB layout software that supports a large-sized=
 PCB=20
=2E.. ~14" x ~6" .... and possibly larger.  I really like Eagle, am very=20
familiar with it, and there's trememdous support for it (in the way of=20
available libraries).  But the Eagle version that supports this board siz=
e,=20
the Professional version, is $1200.... ouch!

But time is easier to find than money nowadays, so I'm willing to re-crea=
te=20
all my own libraries if necessary.

However, it must have an autorouter, and be able to generate 274X Gerber=20
files.  I'd really like it to have the ability to rotate parts to arbitra=
ry=20
angles, like Eagle 4.11.  Linux or Windoze is fine with me.  This current=
 app=20
will have ~1,800 pins, so I prefer not to have pin limits.

Any ideas on which software might meet my needs?  I have $200 budgeted fo=
r=20
this, but would prefer to keep it under $200.  Do-able?

Cheers,
-Neil.
