It's an excellent idea!  Especially since that's exactly what I did for t=
he=20
last application circuit I built. :-)

I built ~9 separate circuits and bolted them together onto an aluminium s=
heet,=20
then connected with lots of wires.  But it was a major hassle, and the bo=
ards=20
cost more since most PCB houses won't let you place multiple circuits on =
1=20
board.  So I felt that I wouldn't mind paying a couple hundred bux for so=
me=20
peace of mind, and perhaps recover some of that cost on PCB manufacturing=
=2E

There must be some decent software out there at a decent-ish price.

Cheers,
