Homebrew PCBs

Hi Jan,
The pads I am talking about here is the free pads, resistor
small diodes, etc. The IC's are 50x100mil ovals normal size.
These are already in the parts inventory and I didn't have to make a new
part. You can make the pads any size you want even odd sizes 83mil.
I use PC Logic mainly because it has some very nice features that others
don't have and I am use to it.
Like easy to make custom parts while you are drawing the PCB. Step and
Repeat when printing, etc.

Derek
