It's not perfect, and it requires you to be in the loop, but so do a hammer and a srew driver. People who knee jerk say you can't use the auto router haven't bothered to learn it. You do have to read the manual, several times. It's not free, but it can do the routine stuff with no errors and a lot faster than you can. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
